Overdues

· Overdue lists by Year level are printed out every fortnight by the Library technician and distributed to the relevant personnel to retrieve the overdue items.  · To retrieve long-term overdues, teacher/librarians need to visit classes during core subject times. · If there is no response to class visits and notices, a letter requesting the return of resources or payment for them is sent to parents. · Letters for long-term overdues are sent three times per year: · All levels at beginning of Term 1. Ring Year 12 students with overdues after exams finish. Ultimately, after every effort at retrieving item/s has failed, the item will need to be returned as missing. At this point, decide whether item needs to be replaced. || · Enter a message in Admin-Trap in Patrons Module, whenever a letter to parents has been sent with the date e.g. L Dec 08 · Regular clearing of Admin-Trap is necessary. · Level co-ordinators are approached to assist with very overdue items after 2 letters have been sent home and student contacted again. · If there are problems concerning students who believe they have never borrowed the resource or are adamant they have returned it, a proforma letter is to be signed by their parents. When this is done, the item is returned and made missing. · Whilst students have overdues, they are unable to borrow, except when there is an urgent educational need.
