That sounds good. After all there are many sources of e-text form other
countries that have similar restrictions, and there would be no way of keeping
track of all of them.

: OK, how about a statement in that section of the manual along the
: following lines?
:
: Note that the policies and regulations for some of the resources listed
: in this section of the manual may differ depending on your country of
: residence. You may wish to check with the specific organization to
: insure that the services described are available in your country. Note,
: too, that this list is far from comprehensive. This section lists only
: a snapshot of what kind of material is available. There may be others
: not listed here.

: I would agree with these sentiments. However, what Larry says is

: of different organizations. This would be asking too much.
:
: However, given that many sources of e-texts do have restrictive
: policies and conditions on the services they offer, and since the BP
: manual is providing a list of sources of material suitable for
: downloading to the BP, I believe that this warrants the inclusion of
: a note informing the user that the materials made available by some
: of these organisations may only be available to US citizens or
: residents and that the user should consult the respective
: organizations for further information about their elligibility to
: receive such services.
:
: I can't see how APH could get into trouble recommending this. It
: seems like good advice and prewarns new users that not all the listed
: sources are necessarily going to be available to them. And finally,
: it only requires a single edit to the manual.
