Are Fines Effective? Access Services Conference 2017 Poster

Information about a study of whether daily library fines are effective in changing patron behavior. Poster presented at Access Services Conference 2017 by Katie Mihaly and Andrea Boehme.

Abstract

This poster contains preliminary data from a study on library fines.  The data describes the difference in behavior between a control group of patrons charged daily overdue fines and an experimental group who are not.  Also included are the results from a survey of OhioLINK (Ohio’s academic library consortium) libraries on their current library fine practices and opinions. The research is partially funded through an award from OhioLINK.

Our final paper is available in BGSU's Institutional Repository:
