For larger libraries that do a large volume of Dup Ex.  Your plan sounds
great.

However we are small library and probably send out many more duplicates
that we receive.  We appreciate the reimbursement on a
piece by piece basis.

A Ten dollar limit seems to much too high for us.

Dear Backservers:

I am wondering if any of the rest of you are a little bit tired of
dealing with reimbursement in stamps for back issues.  Personally, I do
not use the stamps I receive for postage at all - I use them to send to
others to reimburse for issues I have received.  I have often gotten to
the point where I do not have any stamps left to reimburse others with,
and have to buy more.  I think this process would be a lot easier if we
stopped asking each other for reimbursement except in cases where
postage exceeds an arbitrary amount of say $10.00.  This number is
certainly open for discussion.  I realize many of you do not ask for
reimbursement if postage is under $3.00, but it would be nice to find a
standard we ALL use.

I hope no-one thinks I sound like sour grapes.  I am very, very
appreciative of BACKSERV.  I just think it could be made easier and more
efficient by coming up with a standard for reimbursement.  Thanks for
listening, and please respond if you have any comments.  Thanks!
