Library fines increase on selected items
In response to student and faculty requests, the University of Florida Libraries increased certain fines effective Summer A 2007 to encourage the prompt return of high demand materials. This was the first increase in library fines in over 30 years.
• Overdue fines for items with shorter loan period increased from $0.25 to $1.00 per day per loan. These include recalled items, periodicals, videos & DVDs, and reference items.
• Overdue fines for items on Course Reserve increased from $.25 to $1.00 per hour.
• The maximum overdue fine increased from $10.00 to $40.00 per item for short term loans, at which point an item will be considered lost and borrowers will be assessed the replacement cost in addition to fines accrued.
• Fines for items with regular loan periods remain at $.25 per day. Current information on all library fines is available online at http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/ps/Circ/fines.html.
