Due to a number of issues that we have experienced with regards late return and / or damage to some of our “higher end” items, we are currently in the process of reviewing fines for media equipment and, in particular, laptops.
I was wondering what other institutions charged in relation to the likes of laptops or other equipment (if different from their fine tariff for books etc.), in particular, hourly rates, daily rates and what the maximum fine cap might be. I’d also be interested to hear if any institutions hire equipment out, either for a refundable deposit or a non-refundable fee and how they get on with this system and if there any legal implications regarding this? Thanks.
regards
Rich
