Is there such a thing??

I'm constantly hearing complaints from patrons about unplayable DVDs
in our collection. This is one complaint I find totally valid.

We don't remotely have the labor available to clean and inspect every
disc upon return a la Netflix, but I wonder if there's anything we can do
short of that which beats sticking items to languish on a problem shelf??

Does anyone try to periodically clean ALL their DVDs?

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
