them. Any block condition generated when trying to do so cannot be
overridden. The inventory status is always Marked. NetLibrary eBook

Temporary
TEM Use the Temporary circulation type for library materials that are not a
part of your permanent collection and that can be checked out only on a
temporary basis. This is typically used for magazines and newspapers.
You can only assign the Temporary circulation type when you add a title
during a checkout. Temporary titles are automatically deleted when the
item is checked in.
