<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">hello library leaders,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Here's a query relating to </span><a href="https://libraryleadershipcouncil.wikispaces.com/file/detail/january+2017+RECIPROCAL+BORROWING+STATEMENT.docx" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk245022" previewremoved="true"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">https://libraryleadershipcouncil.wikispaces.com/file/detail/january+2017+RECIPROCAL+BORROWING+STATEMENT.docx</span></a></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In particular:</span><br>
</p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">"Participating libraries will assist each other in retrieving overdue materials, including suspension of borrower’s library privileges and placement of holds on college transcripts."</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><br>
</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The query:</span></font><br>
</p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This doesn't make it clear exactly *who* is responsible for collecting replacement fees for lost items-- the library that owns the lost item, or the home library of the patron who
lost the item. </span><br>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What Seattle Colleges are interested in doing:<br>
</span></span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Implement a policy/procedure such that when a reciprocal borrower fails to return library material, the borrower's home library pays the replacement cost of the item(s) directly
to us, and then seek reimbursement from the patron (as happens with ILL). </span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The question:</span></span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Is this acceptable policy/procedure?
<br>
