UBorrow Lost Policy
The UBorrow Lost Book Policy from RSSC is 6 pages long and includes the research done by the RSSC to determine the best process for handling Lost UBorrow books for all 40 FL institutions participating in UBorrow. The actual recommendation, it was approved by MCLS in Sept 2016.
Because UBorrow Lost loans in Circulation are not automatically reflected in AlephILL, it is up to (Borrowing) library staff to update the status of lost loans in UBorrow.
UBorrow Damaged Policy
There is no specific Damaged Policy, but the 2013 RSSC Guidelines states in the, Responsibilities of Borrowing Libraries section:
In compliance with the U.S. Interlibrary Loan Code, the requesting library is responsible for the safety and return of borrowed materials, including compensation (as determined by the supplying library) to the supplying library for the expense of the replacement or repair. Invoice procedures for lost/damaged books should only include the replacement cost. No additional late or processing fees should be added. Identical replacement items may be accepted. Local agreements may supersede this Guideline.
