[Evergreen-general] Restricting Circulation for Certain Items by Home Library

[Lolis, John]

Thank you so much to all who responded.  And here I was thinking that I
must be stupid and missing something obvious.  Now I can see why one has to
get creative to effect something like this, and why someone was even told
that it's not possible.

Best wishes,
