TK Family (TK F)
Why Use This Label?
This Label should be used when you would like external users to know that this material is subject to certain conditions for circulation. This material is usually only shared between family members. Because these conditions have not historically been recognized, this Label helps make these conditions clearer for future users. Specifically it asks them to respect culturally specific rules of use and to make different and fair decisions about using this type of material.
Each Label is meant to be customized by a community. See below for a Label template text.
TK Label Template Text
This Label is being used to indicate that this material is traditionally and usually not publicly available. The Label is correcting a misunderstanding about the circulation options for this material and letting any users know that this material has specific conditions for sharing between family members. Who these family members are, and how sharing occurs will be defined in each locale. This material is not, and never was, free, public, or available for everyone at anytime. This Label asks you to think about how you are going to use this material and to respect different cultural values and expectations about circulation and use.
