Are library fines SERIOUS BUSINESS? (1 Viewer)

[kami]

How serious is MQ about the whole 'withholding access to academic results' etc due to library fines? Because I've got some fines that have been outstanding for a while...:/

Take it from someone who works there, they're serious.

Oh poopchute. Will paying part of it do anything as far as result releasedness? Or does it have to be the whole thing on the double or I get an auto F come 18th of July?

 

[*hopeful*]

i havent paid one from last year and still got all my results ?

i got another one due at the moment~

I am petrified of fines so I try to avoid borrowing books.

 

[*hopeful*]

Yeah, this is the first year they're introducing it.

Your outstanding balance has to be clear...so ALL of it.

 

[*hopeful*]

Haha, not borrowing books is a crime in my units

the reserve section scares me - i felt like i would get a fine just for touching a book the way they went on about it

[marchetta]

how much are the fines?

One dollar a day, and five dollars a day for 3-day loans. I hate the fuckers who hold your books, so you can't renew them! Grrr....

They work don't with old books, so I don't use them, either.

i have unintentionally tried to steal a book from there THREE times! the exit bit starts beeping and the gate locks and then you slam into the gate as you expect to push it open and then the lady looks at you like you're a criminal (or maybe with an 'oh, not again' expression)

i'm getting better at it but they're so akward to use, especially if you're borrowing a large number of books
