MONOGRAPH REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES

• The replacement book must be in the same subject area as the book it is replacing, but it need not be the exact book.
• A monograph replacement fund, the Lost Book Revolving Fund (rlbrr), is maintained and monitored by Acquisitions. The money in the fund comes from the payments made by patrons for lost books.
• The fund may be used for books missing from the shelf for a year or for lost books that have been paid for.
• A Copy 2 may be ordered if a book missing less than a year is needed badly, but another fund must be used and the Collection Development Coordinator must approve the Copy 2 order.
