[Access-ip] Replacement Fee question

[Gus Stamatopoulos]

Trevor,

We are in the process of changing the replacement fee structure(see 
below). The language is not final but he change will be in effect during 
the summer.

"A minimum fee of $100 will be charged for a lost library item, in 
addition to any related overdue fines. If the costs to replace the item 
exceed $100, individuals will be charged the actual replacement costs, 
in addition to any related overdue fines."

Another change is the threshold for blocking a patrons account.

"Replacement fees and/or overdue fines equal to or greater than $100 
will result in the suspension of borrowing privileges for all 
individuals and a stop being placed on a student’s registration record. 
Suspensions on borrowing privileges and registration blocks will only be 
removed once the fees and fines have been paid in full."
