Textbook+Unusable

The library has a “Fine Schedule” list available for teachers, describing damages and the corresponding fines (attached below). If a student damages their text book, the teacher should notify the library technician by completing a charge slip (attached below) who will notate their account with the damages.
 * If a student damages their textbook/if the book is “totaled”: **

If the book is unusable: the book should be sent to the library so it may be sent to surplus. The student will be charged for the full price of a new book. Books chewed by animals or with water damage are considered unusable. The teacher is will issue the student another textbook, through the Zangle Inventory module.

If a textbook is __damaged__ to the extent that the teacher cannot determine the “unique number” of the book, that student will be charged for total damage…the full price of the book. Textbooks range in price from $25-$160. The Williams Settlement states that a complaint can be filed if: "Textbooks or instructional materials are in poor or unusable condition, have missing pages, or are unreadable due to damage." **

Rule of thumb: If it requires repair, it requires a charge

Rule of thumb: If you would be embarrassed to send that book home with another student, charge the replacement cost, i.e. chewed by an animal, soaked with pink Powerade, etc.
