I propose some changes to the issuing rules interface to improve usability:

 - Rename the page "Circulation Policies" since "issuing" doesn't fit well with current terminology conventions. The term "circulation" is broad enough to encompass checkouts, fines, and holds.

 - Better define and delineate the sub-sections on the page:
   - Default checkout and hold policy
   - Checkout limit by patron category
   - Holds policy by item type

 - Repeat the current library name, when selected, for clarity: "Default checkout and hold policy for Athens" rather than "Default checkout and hold policy for this library" 

 - Use the phrase "all libraries" when no library is selected. "Default library" seems ambiguous. "All libraries" better defines how the rule will be applied: to all libraries in the absence of a more specific rule.
