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.
