Our university's senior management has decided that all email sent from 
the university must have a bilingual disclaimer attached.  You will see 
the text of the disclaimer at the end of this message.

We have concerns about attaching this disclaimer to email circulation 
notices for two reasons.

1. It doesn't seem helpful to add that "views or opinions are solely those 
of the sender and do not necessarily represent those of the university" 
when asking a user to return library books before the original due date 
because someone else requires them, or books which are overdue.

2. We share our library system with another institution and the disclaimer 
is irrelevant to their students and staff.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?  We understand that some 
universities have acknowledged that these are notifications not 
correspondence and as such fall outside the 'need' to include a 
disclaimer.

I would be grateful for any suggestions from libraries which have overcome 
this problem.  Thanks.

Mieko
