Hello -
I was wondering if anyone could share any guidelines you have created for the purchase of used/out of print materials. Do you have specific guidelines for the condition of the material and maximum price you will pay (relative to the item's original retail price)? Do you put the new purchase price in the item record, so that the patron pays the full cost of acquiring that item (even if it is quite a bit more than the title originally cost when it was in print)? We will be purchasing additional copies to fill holds, so in all cases, there is at least one copy already circulating in the system.
Thank you!
Vicki
