Policy Statement:
Current: CSU libraries should not charge overdue fines for resource sharing.
- An overdue notice will be emailed 3 days after the due date informing the patron that a replacement fee of $90 will be charged 14 days after the book was due
- After 14 days the patron is billed and blocked from using library checkout (all circulation of local and non-local materials)
- If the item is returned, the replacement fee will be removed
- Local campus can override for local materials if they choose to do so
Proposed Change: No proposed changes.
Rationale:
- In Early 2017 COLD and the GTF agreed that CSU+ items will not accrue fines. Automated emails are used to prompt patrons to return their items and accounts with extremely overdue items will be temporarily blocked until the item is returned, a replacement copy is provided, or the replacement fee is paid. Billing and refunds for materials found after paying the replacement fee should follow the same workflow and policies of billed in house materials.
