[Michlib-l] Materials Recovery/Fine Collection Options

[Kelly Bennett]

We here at Ferndale use Unique Management Services. A fair number of
Library Network Libraries (the main cooperative in Oakland and Wayne
Counties) use them, too. We've had good results and most of the work is
done at Unique. We are charged a $7.50 fee for each record forwarded to
them and we pass that fee along to each patron who is referred. They have a
budget-neutral policy.
