YellowPending. Items may be checked out to patrons at the owning site even if a CSU Peer- to-Peer Borrowing request has been received, but the book has yet to be removed from the shelfWinter 2017 | . Patron pays to his/her home library, not to the library that owned the book. COLD requests a report on replacement fees charged by the end of June 2018 to verify that this policy does not introduce inequities. Winter 2017. A replacement fee of the cost of an item + $15 or an approved replacement copy will be accepted for all lost Peer-to-Peer Resource Sharing items- Replacement copies will be approved by the owning library
- A campus can implement a blanket "no replacement copy" for their own materials if they choose to do so.
Replacement Fee: - Lost items are charged a $90 flat rate replacement fee with the option of an acceptable replacement copy at the discretion of the lending library.
- If the book is returned the fee is waived.
- If the patron would like to furnish a replacement copy the borrowing library should send a link to the lending library to the online retailer where the book will be purchased. The lending library must approve the replacement copy before it is purchased. The lending library may specify that the book must be in good condition, like new, new, or that they will not accept any replacement copies for the item.
