I-SHARE Fines and Fine Notice Policy

Re-Affirmed by the ILCSO Board of Directors, March 14, 2003

Waiving Fines

I-SHARE library staff will waive any fine owed, with the exception of fines/fees for lost items, by another institution’s patron up to the amount of $4.99 per item. This policy is intended to prevent borrowers from being blocked due to small billing amounts and to prevent libraries from sending bills for small charges.

Notice Generation

I-SHARE libraries will set a $5.00 minimum balance on notices for fineable Universal Borrowing patron types.

Instructions on how to configure Voyager System Administration to comply with the minimum balance for notice generation can be found at: http://www.carli.illinois.edu/mem-prod/I-Share/circ/030321_finesfees2.pdf
