[ILL-L] damaged item charges

[Barbour, Patricia A.]

Hi Nora,

    We also check with Technical Services to determine the
cost of repairing the item or if it needs to be replaced.
The average repair cost is $25.00.

We charge a damage fee rather than replacement fee when only the binding has
been damaged and the book can be rebound. We check with our Technical
Services department to determine what the rebinding will cost and charge
that amount. It's usually under $20.

Apologies for cross-posting.

I'm working on a lost/damage charges document and would love some 
feedback on what you do at your institutions.  Do you charge for 
repairs, as opposed to charging a flat replacement fee?  How do you 
figure a fair amount to charge for repair? 

Any insights would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Nora
