Hi,
I was curious to know if (acacemic) libraries allow users to purchase
replacement copies for lost or damaged books.
In my experience, purchases for the library collection are generally only
permitted by those who are authorized to make purchases library materials.
Allowing library users to buy books seems to authorize all library users to
purchase library materials. Or, is it that the original copy purchased is
key in such cases, which probably was purchased by the library?
If you do accept replacement copies purchased by users, what kind of audit
trail do you create in your system? Is it a 'gift?' Or, if you charge a
processing fee, do you enter just that amount in the order record/bib
record as a note?
Thanks,
Reeta
