However, the borrower remains responsible for an item, and all fines and fees accrued, until it is discharged at the circulation desk of origin. The borrower is assessed the fine schedule of the visited library, according to local practice. The borrower is responsible for all financial obligations incurred at the visited library. The borrower is responsible for supplying a current mailing address to the visited library. Failure to receive notification does not absolve the borrower of library obligations.
Borrowers are subject to the rules and regulations of the visited library.
Reporting and Accounting Each library will provide timely notification to borrowers of overdues, bills, etc. Periodically each library will compile lists of blocked borrowers sorted by institution. These lists will be sent to the respective Heads of Circulation. As a library receives lists of its own students, faculty and staff blocked at other USG libraries, it will follow through with the information according to local practice, preferably with a home block on the patron's record. It is recommended that at least semi-annually each library will submit to the other USG libraries invoices for bills that are past due for a minimum of six months.
