Library fines

The request was successful.

Dear London School of Economics,

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 Jack,

The School's Library has not levied any such fines since Summer 2014. As such, we do not hold the information you requested and can’t supply it to you.

Although we have not been able to supply you with the information you requested this time, the School is committed to Freedom of Information and would be happy to receive any further requests you wish to make.

Yours sincerely,
Rachael Maguire
