🟡 Compensation
- If a borrowed book is defaced, has missing pages, or is lost, the borrower shall notify the library during the borrowing period; otherwise, the borrower shall be subject to overdue penalties and be required to pay within 1 month.
- Compensation method (optional)：
- Method 1. Principles of compensation for books and periodicals:
- Compensation for the purchase of the original (same ISBN) or the latest version of the same book;
- Academic journals are limited to the purchase of lost volumes, and leisure magazines are eligible for the latest issue if they are unable to obtain the same issue.
- If the book is out of print and difficult to purchase, please purchase: the same subject (can be identified by title search) and written in the same language (e.g. Foreign-language books are compensated for foreign-language books) and higher than the original price and the publication date of newer books.
- The book to be compensated shall not be the missing page, defaced, marked, etc.
- Method 2. Payment for books and periodicals (Twice the current price for the lost book.)
Every volume is calculated on the basis of double the price. When the price cannot be obtained, the Chinese at twice the price of NT$300 per volume, the foreign language is calculated at twice the price of NT$3000 per volume.
- If the library originally purchased the public presentation edition of the audiovisual material, it will need to purchase the public presentation edition for compensation. If the audio-visual materials are a complete collection of publications and cannot be purchased on a single piece, a full set of compensation will be required.
- If the books and materials of compensation are out of print or cannot be purchased, they shall be compensated in cash twice the market value.
- Upon completion of the compensation for the books and materials, the right to borrow the books shall be restored.
