Re: Meanwhile...
"I cannot begin to think why the IA thought this was a good idea."
Maybe if every closed library provided the IA with a list of it's "locked down books", the IA could increment the number of allowed loans by each unused book. That would have the effect of massively increasing the numbers of loans allowed to give a similar effect and not affect the overall library of "licenced" stock. It would be the equivalent of inter-library loans.
