Dumb question. Setting aside the ILL restriction by Zipporah why would the loaning institution not be responsible for the replacement cost? Seems pretty basic to a non librarian unless there was some debate on how the item was lost or damaged. I would hope libraries have a policy of insisting that any out of print or expensive item if loaned only by sent by trackable & insured method ( I think FX ground would be best myself).
