Hello!
Do you charge patrons the price you paid for a book or do you lower the price
because it's "used"? Currently we charge the price that we paid. My administration
thinks this might be a problem legally. I told them we charge full price because we
have to replace that book at full price. They suggested we charge two prices $8 for
paperbacks and $25 for hardcovers. This is to avoid the legal issue but time is also
a concern so this would be faster than looking up prices for each book. Currently
when I print an overdue list the prices are not on the list. We are getting Mandarin
3M in a few weeks though. Does anyone know if you can get prices to print out on
the overdue list with that automation system? We have a fluid population and many
books are never returned so overdues and billing students takes quite a bit of time.
TIA
