Hi All, Our library is thinking about going to a flat fee for replacement fees for lost videos but we're not sure if we should do that, and if we did what that fee would be. When your patrons lose videos, do you have a standard replacement fee for those or do you look up what the going rate is title by title? And if you wouldn't mind, could you share (off-list if necessary) what your replacement fee is?
Cheers, Matt ______________________________ Matt Ball Media and Collections Librarian Clemons Library University of Virginia [email protected] 434-924-3812 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.
