Error during command authentication.

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!
