Otherwise, a sliding scale of charges, based on the standard replacement cost and the age of the item, will be applied. A re-binding charge may also be applied to damaged items where appropriate.
For inter-library loans the cost of replacement/damaged item is set by the loaning library.
Refunds will not be given for items that have been lost for over one month.
