Our default is $200. Plus $10 late fees and $10 processing fee. Automatically bills at 7 days overdue.
When the student returns it, the $200 goes away, they pay $20. (Faculty and staff don't have to pay late fees). If lost and patron reports it to us, we charge actual replacement cost up to the $200 plus $10 processing fee. If they tell us immediately, we waive the late fee. Most of the time lost DVD is a feature film available for $15 on Amazon. If item is found and returned within 6 months, they get a refund minus the $10 processing fee.

I need to know if you have such a policy and if you do what is your default amount. We used to have the amount the same as the cost of the item. But we have been faced with a lot of items never returned. Students have paid the replacement cost in order to register and we ended up with some items no longer available or much more expensive than when we bought them. Thanks.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
