Dear Sir,

Ans.1)  if you have the latest publisher's catalogue then you may go for it ; else, the amount entered in the Accession Register. In whichever case, if the Library Committee has set a percentage of money as penalty amount over & above the cost, then that may also be taken along. Please consult the Library Commitee bore taking the decision if yours is a private or public institution. If Govt., then consult the latest financial rule book which should b indefinitely available in the office of NIELIT.

Ans. 2) the same as above. because, the 2 main purposes of charging fine for the same is to make the user more responsible & also to recover the loss so as to be able to purchase the latest edition of the document...and in this case, suit the reason for whichever of the 2 is more applicable. 

Ans.3) a piece of advice, in terms of monetary issue(s), never take a decision without taking the suggestion & written approval of the Library Committee. in this case u may suggest them that the left out exceeding value may be taken along with the penalty.
