Interesting results you have received.  As a public library system, the copy
machines in our libraries are not owned by the library system, but are
contracted out.  Because of our unique situation (51 branches on 6 islands),
only one company put in a bid on the contract.  They started with a fee of
$0.15 per copy, and we shortly thereafter raised the prices on our microfilm
copies to $0.15 per copy for consistency.  Just recently the company raised
its rates to $0.20 per copy.  We have not raised the prices on our microfilm
copies.  Even though our newest machine costs us $0.25 per copy for toner
and paper.

Subject: [SERIALST] how much do you charge for copies????

I am doing a very informal survey on copy price.  Here at Midwestern State
Univ. we charge 10 cents for copies.  We charge the same for microfiche or
paper copies.  I am wondering how much copies are at other libraries.
Thanks

Sue
