Subject: video fines
Academic libraries,
Could you share with me what your fines for A-V materials are?
I'm asking to change our policy from ten cents per minute to one cent per
minute. (Our max fine is $10 per item. A-V has a 24-hour checkout.) The
director wants to see some examples from other libraries before he okays it.
btw, I'm not lowering the fines to be nice, just to be more equitable. I
doesn't seem right that someone who's 2 hours late is fined the same as one
who's 6 hours late. (Unfortunately, I can't fine them per day for the
really tardy students.)
Thanks in advance!
Barb
