Tip of the Week - Lost? Found? Fine!

Tip for: 05.24.10

Lost? Found? Fine!

If a patron loses an item, pays for it, but then the item is found, do you refund the full amount, or do you withhold a flat fee from the refund?  If you do charge a fee on lost items that are returned, there is a new preference in version 6 that you will love!

To set an amount as a Returned Lost Item Fine Amount:

  • Go to Edit on the menu bar and select System Preferences.

  • In the Circulation category of the System Preferences window, click on Rules.

  • Click on Save in the upper-right corner of the System Preferences window.
