Re: [Videolib] Security System Recommendation
We use locking cases (CheckPoint, but there are other options). The case is tattletaped. At check out, the lock is removed and the case is desensitized. A plus of repackaging all DVDs into these cases is that you have uniform items for shelving. I discourage the use of the full-disc overlays with security strips. They caused a lot of trouble with our audiobook CDs. I would use on the DVDs which are even more sensitive to the imbalance created by the tattletape strips. As for different options of cases, talk to vendors and ask them to send you samples. You want to see how sturdy the cases are, how easy the lock key mechanism functions (the key is usually device with a big magnet). No system is 100% effective. If someone wants to steal a disc, they'll find a way.

Re: [Videolib] Security System Recommendation (Josh Moorman)
Hey Josh, for awhile we were purchasing a security donut that went over the inside of the clear plastic part of the disc. We did not find these worked very well, and after some quick research, I can't seem to find a manufacturer that still makes them. Currently, we are placing a similar donut-shaped label (without a security component) on the disc that says St Louis Public Library and has the item's 10-digit identification number. -Rob -Original Message- From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of videolib-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2012 3:27 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: videolib Digest, Vol 53, Issue 54 Send videolib mailing list submissions to videolib@lists.berkeley.edu To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://calmail.berkeley.edu/manage/list/listinfo/videolib@lists.berkele y.edu or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to videolib-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu You can reach the person managing the list at videolib-ow...@lists.berkeley.edu When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of videolib digest...

Re: [Videolib] Security System Recommendation (Josh Moorman)
Thanks for the heads up, Rob. We'll keep playback issues in mind while looking at our options. Although since you're still using the 3M security stripes, does that mean the pros still outweigh the cons with this system?
