[ILL-L] Re: Friday musings

[Dina Carmy]

Good afternoon,

We have a charge of $5.00 fine for each item that is not picked up by certain date. We had no choice because it takes a lot of manpower and money to obtain the ILL materials for our patrons.

Thank you.

I'm interested in knowing whether other libraries have a $2 fines for items not picked up.   

We are considering doing this because we have over 30 returnables each month that never get picked up.  We also have just as many or more electronically delivered articles that the users never read.

Last year we instituted a $2 postage/handling charge for ILL's received and 
a $2         additional fine for items not picked up.  It worked wonders!
