[Fla-facrl] Collection Fees for Lost Items

[Shannon Schane]

Dear Colleagues,

Our staff recently realized we have a few collection fees for lost items which are woefully outdated (e.g., $200 for a lost DVD, $0.00 for a reference book, etc...). This discovery has prompted a review of the dollar values we assign to our lost items.

We are hoping you would be willing to share with us how your institution assesses lost items in your collections and your specific pricing structure, if any. Are there exceptions to that structure? Are there current resources you used to determine your pricing?

I would greatly appreciate if you would contact me, off list, with any information you would be willing to share.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Shannon
