Policy Statement:

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. 

Rationale:

  • Policy insures that monies are collected consistently in a streamlined workflow.

  • This policy is based on the CSU Systemwide Agreement on Borrowing implemented in 1975, supplemented in 1992 to clarify this point. It indicates that monies should not be transferred among campuses due to the complicated nature of this process and the idea that number of lost items most likely will balance itself out.  Since all campuses make up one system, the movement of monies among individual campuses is not needed.

  • The review of lost items at the end of June 2018 will verify if, in fact, the lost items do balance out among the campuses.  The review will also provide an opportunity to examine how the workflow of transferring monies has changed.  It may turn out to be a simple process that lends itself to reimbursement among campuses.
