[ILL-L] Restrictions and conditionals

[Charlie Brenner]

ILLers-

I find that borrowers accept conditionals and restrictions
on the network, but fail to honor them in practice.

"Ship in a a box" restrictions r usually not followed at
least half the time. The same can b said for "no renewals".

I conditional "In library use" because of the above.

I understand the workload of some borrowing partners has a definite
restricting influence anyway. In the case of rural libraries one
wonders if cultural and personal influences effect their carrying
out these restrictions. I will admit guilt in a couple of such
cases myself as this community functions along the lines
of informality and political exceptions.
