I know this is a perennial request to LIS-LINK but I've been unable to
find any recent data on this. Basically, here at DMU we're about to
undertake a review of fines and loan entitlements for various user
groups and of item loan periods overall. I'd be interested to hear from
staff at other UK universities outlining what their loan and fine
policies are.
I'm looking at issues such as:
Range of differing loan entitlements or loan periods for differing user
groups - staff, researcher, distance learners, undergrad students
Fines - how much users are fined for various items and whether further
loans are permitted whilst a fine is in place
What length of loan you have for short loan, AV, standard loan material
etc.
I'm happy to summarise for the list if there's demand.
Regards,
Jane
