Assessing Fees and Fines
Fees are calculated in one of two ways:
|
•
|
Automatically. These system-generated fees include: |
|
–
|
Overdue fines calculated at the time overdue items are checked in |
|
–
|
Lost book fines, either after the final unheeded overdue notice is sent or when a staff member changes the item’s status to lost |
|
–
|
Rental fees calculated when items are checked out |
|
–
|
Renewal fees calculated when items are renewed |
|
•
|
Manually. These fees include any library-defined fee categories, such as interlibrary loan fees or photocopy card fees. |
Once a fee is assessed, whether automatically or manually, you can change the amount owed if you have security authorization.
You transact payments for system-generated fines the same way you do for manually-added fees.
