- Our circulation check-in makes erros about 1% of the time.
- These errors result in false overdue notices. Eventually, the
- complaint comes in and we can not find the book possibly because
- of bad shelving (about 2% error rate). Basically, this message
- is about circ errors. If you admit to both checkin and shelving error,
- how do you still maintain insistance on payment for what you say are
- non-returned books? Currently, my policy (Monmouth College, NJ) is that
- I don't cancel borrowing privileges until a second "claims returned" is
- claimed, How do you other circers deal with error in your system?
- What do you do when a person who has never lost a book claims the
- bill for unreturned books is a mistake, but you can't find the book?
- When and how do you get tough?
