fine Fines are generated by Circulation Plus when a patron does not return a copy on time
(overdue fine), when a patron reports a lost copy (lost fine), or when a returned copy
shows signs of damage (damaged fine). A fine type of refund allows librarians to track
money owed back to a patron for payments made on lost items that have been re
turned. The librarian can create additional fine types as needed; however, userdefined
fine types are not associated with copies
fine increment The amount of fine penalty that accumulates each day, or other specified time period,
and is applied to a patron record.
fine limit The maximum fine for a damaged, lost, or overdue copy.
fine threshold The maximum amount a patron can accumulate in fines before Circulation Desk noti
fies the librarian. For example, if you want Circulation Desk to notify you whenever a
patron with a fine penalty attempts a transaction, set the threshold to zero.

Lost, and Refund. Additional types can be created in System Setup . See Also fines.
