[ILL-L] Charging late fees for ILL items lent

[Campbell, Heather]

JPL doesn't charge fines. We, too, are affected by slow delivery
systems. 
But--WOW!- if we did... ILL could be a real moneymaker for JPL.
We do charge a processing fee but that's included in the replacement
fee.  And included only because one of our in-state frequent payers has
a "we don't pay no steekin' processing fees" position while our circ
policy requires us to levy it.

I know how slow the mail system is and getting books back and forth.
Especially if it a book from one of your branch libraries. I just remove
any overdue fees.

Hello,
I have recently become responsible for ILL at my library and have
noticed an abundance of late fees in our system for books that we have
lent to other libraries. My question is this: Is it normal to charge
borrowing libraries for overdue items? We have recently received an
invoice from another library for an item that was 2 weeks overdue, so I
just want to get an idea of other library's policies concerning this
issue. I would greatly appreciate any help or advice you can give.
Thanks!

~ Jessica
