Does your library have a policy regarding the circulation of unusually
expensive resources?

If yes, how do you balance access and control?

 

Last semester one of our in-demand books went missing from a design
studio. Although we acquired it for about $65 several years ago, in the
intervening years the now out-of-print book has become scarce. The
graduate student who checked it out and shared it with studiomates
during the semester is now facing a replacement bill of $300+ --and
that's for a used copy.

 

This is on my mind because I'm about to order a similarly expensive
resource that will likely see a lot of use, and my fiscally prudish
impulse is to restrict it to the reference shelf!
