Lost or Damaged Library Materials

If an item is reported lost, the patron will be charged the cost of the item, plus technical services processing fee ($1.00 for periodicals, $5.00 for all other items). The cost of lost material will be determined by the cost listed in the owning Library’s database or by the price charged by the Library’s primary collection development service. Replacement items are not accepted. If the item is subsequently returned within one month, the amount paid will be refunded upon presentation of a valid receipt. The patron, however, is responsible for all overdue fines incurred from the original date the item was due until the date on which he/she paid for it, or the date on which it was reported lost. Graduation holds are placed for all nonreturned materials and outstanding fines. 

If library material is judged by a department supervisor to be damaged beyond repair and unsuitable for further circulation, the patron shall be charged the price of the item as listed in the owning Library’s database or by the Library’s primary collection development service, plus the technical services processing fee. Replacement items may be accepted with the approval of the Library Director.
