Hi All,

I need information regarding the use of credit card for purchase of books & subscription online. My query is as follows,

1] Are you using your personal credit/debit card for online transaction of library? 2] What's the process to reimburse the amount (used for books purchase/ subscription) in you bill statement. i.e. Do you reimburse Service Charges, Fees if any. 3] Who will bear the Annual Renewal charges of the Credit / Debit card? 4] Is there any bank providing Credit card specifically used by library's online transaction?

Kindly revert back if you are practicing such activity in your library.

Professional friends need to think about it.

Thanks & Regards,

Mangesh G. Sr. Officer-Librarian, Pidilite Industries Ltd. Mumbai. Tel.:022- 28357832 site: www.pidilite.com

Hi - I've used a credit card for library material purchases. Made sure I used the corporate card. Explained to the user that they could either give their card details if the request was urgent, or preferred to send a check in foreign currency and wait 3/4 weeks for delivery of order. Strongly recommend against using any personal credit cards for office use.

Few prefer to use them, few make purchases and get the amount reimbursed. All the purchases require to be sanctioned in advance. Ideally, the amount should be cleared before the next billing.  Few institutes have  a policy where they provide cell phones/credit cards to its staff or reimburse a part of the bill. Irrespective of the facilities available, in the corporate sector, time is of essence. The work needs to be done, the method and means are immaterial. Regards, Lata G.
