Hi All,
We did an assessment of the average purchase price of our video
collection and came up with $20 average replacement fee. u As we
catalog new titles if the purchase price is over $20 it gets entered in
the item record of the catalog and that is the replacement fee. Our
videos have a sticker label with fine information that has a warning on
them that the replacement cost is actual purchase price with a note that
they range from $20 - $1000 as an extra incentive.

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

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.
