At the University of Connecticut we really like the FMG model. It is easy for us and our patrons, easy for our acquisitions staff, too.

We would maintain our own discrete portals and on-line catalogs but share a shopping cart, customer registration system and digital fulfillment capacity. We have looked at FMG and Ambrose 2.0 as setting "industry standards" for remote delivery. Last week, there was a posting which seemed to say that PBS was adopting a different model. They would supply DVDs or digital files which could then be streamed from password protected local servers. Setting aside any questions of pricing and rights, which of these two models, local or remote delivery, would your library prefer today? Which do you think it will prefer five years from now? Thanks for helping us decide how best to accomplish the "digital migration" of our collections.

We have had very few complaints and it has helped us to lower the rate of theft and minimize the shelf space now without bulky security covers. We have a circular property stamp on the doughnut and we by hand write the last significant digits of the bar code for our tracking encase the disc and the case become separated.

We are currently using the overlays and hand-writing our library's ownership information around the DVD hub, as we had been concerned about excessive labels throwing off the DVDs' spin/balance. But we're trying to streamline the processing of these items, and get them out on the shelves faster. We're very interested in anyone who has used both the security overlays WITH a printable (or pre-printed) hub label--has this worked for you? Have there been problems (patron complaints about playability issues, etc.)? Any real-world information would be greatly appreciated!
