Good Morning,
Thanks to everyone for your responses about charging faculty for missing
books. It certainly gives me pause that most everyone is not charging the
faculty, and I'll have to reconsider if that approach is right for us.
Maybe I'll switch to a reminder email-blitz approach instead...
Thanks again!

Hi BAISLers,
What is your library's policy regarding faculty/staff overdue books? When
does a faculty/staff member's book go from just "overdue" to "missing,
needs to be replaced"? When a book does get replaced, do you charge the
faculty member individually (payroll deductions, etc.) or do you charge
their department's budget?
At Drew there historically has not been any due date for faculty/staff,
and there was no charge for replacing any items (the library just
repurchased the book out of its budget). I plan to move away from that
model, and it's always helpful to know what is typical across BAISL before
I go into any policy meetings.
Thanks for your help!
