Library fines

The request was partially successful.

Dear Rose Bruford College,
I am writing to ask about library fines during the academic year 2015/2016. For the time period starting from the first day of term, covering the next 364 days (e.g. one full year), please provide:

1. The total amount of money the library received from the payment of overdue items. Exclude costs of replacing lost books - this request solely relates to the cost of books that are returned later than their due date.

2. Information about where this money then goes (is it absorbed into a specific library budget for example? if so what one?)

3. If possible, from the figure provided in 1, break this down by

a) category of user paying fine (e.g. undergraduate, postgraduate, staff)
b) country of origin of user paying fine (e.g. France, Italy, US). If only broader categories are possible e.g. "EU", "non-EU" then please provide this instead.

Many thanks, and do let me know if you require any further clarification.

Yours faithfully,

Jack Forks

Dear Rose Bruford College,

I am writing to ask about library fines during the academic year
2015/2016. For the time period starting from the first day of term,
covering the next 364 days (e.g. one full year), please provide:

 

1.       The total amount of money the library received from the payment
of overdue items. Exclude costs of replacing lost books - this request
solely relates to the cost of books that are returned later than their due
date.

 

In 2015-16 the library collected £2,060 in fines.  This does not include
the cost of replacing lost books.

 

 

2.       Information about where this money then goes (is it absorbed into
a specific library budget for example? if so what one?)

 

All of these fines and fees are paid into a library budget which is used
for replacing lost or non-returned books, either on a like for like basis,
or acquiring additional materials in the subject area.  £1500 was spent on
books from this fund in 2015-16.

The year ended with this account about £500 in credit.

 

 

3. If possible, from the figure provided in 1, break this down by

 

a) category of user paying fine (e.g. undergraduate, postgraduate, staff)

b) country of origin of user paying fine (e.g. France, Italy, US). If only
broader categories are possible e.g. "EU", "non-EU" then please provide
this instead.

 

We do not record this data.

 

Many thanks, and do let me know if you require any further clarification.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Jack Forks
