No Juliet. I'm talking about something like Alpha Series, locking containers that can hold DVDs with their original cases inside. I know about locking DVD cases. But I prefer not to repack 5,000 DVDs. I just want to put our DVDs with their original cases in locking containers. Thank you for your suggestion anyway.
Farhad From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Juliet Dayday Sent: Monday, May 17, 2010 5:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Videolib] Securing DVDs Hi Farhad, Are you referring to DVD cases that lock with the original DVD inside? If so, we use something called "One-Time" that works pretty well. They come with a magnetic key that you can use to swipe the case to unlock. They cost about $2/case, the key is $75. They are pretty durable. I've had to unlock faulty cases without the key and it took a screw driver and some elbow grease to open them. There are "snap in" trays that allow for two discs in one case - but no more than that. They also are really hard to open if you try to add a bulky insert to the case; like companion booklets or a cardboard (as opposed to paper) cover. I hope this helps, Juliet -- Juliet Dayday Cinema Office Manager James Lemont Fogg Memorial Library Art Center College of Design 1700 Lida Street, Pasadena CA 91103 [email protected] ph: 626-396-2235 fx: 626-568-0428 ________________________________ From: "Moshiri, Farhad" <[email protected]> Reply-To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 17 May 2010 06:29:55 -0700 To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: [Videolib] Securing DVDs I need feedback from those of you who are using secure containers that holds your DVDs with their original cases inside and comes with a key to unlock it. What kind you're using? Are you satisfied? Are they heavy duty? What is the pricing? Thanks.

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.
