Library fines
I am conducting a research product in order to ascertain the total number of Library fines that were paid at universities in the UK.
I am therefore writing to ask about library fines during the academic year 2016/2017, under the Freedom of Information Act. 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 if possible – this request solely relates to the cost of items that are returned later than their due date.
Many thanks, and do let me know if you require any further clarification
Yours faithfully,
Jack Forks
