I'd recommend a low-tech option: put a colored sticker on the case which says "license expires [date]" Do not circulate after [date]. Return to [] after [date]. Of course--it will probably get noticed when someone wants to use it AND the license has expired :)

Since we only have a limited number of materials that have such licensing, its easy to keep track of which should be pulled/renewed. hope that helps!

Are you putting a note in the bib and/ or item record with the date of expiration? What mechanism do you have in place to alert you to the expiration date so the license can be renewed or the dvd pulled from the shelf? If we purchase an ABC News dvd from Amazon, does the same license restriction apply? Thanks for your help.
