This may be a solution, if rather than getting
new cabinets we re-package into small and thin cases.

Tom, we also elected to remove discs from their
cases so that we could have better theft
protection while still keeping the original DVD
cases out in the stacks for browsing. We simply
invested in a sturdy, multi-drawer cabinet which
holds inexpensive slim disc cases like
these:

. The original DVD cases have a label inside
with the disc number, which is also written on
the center ring label on the disc itself and
added to the record during cataloging. Its
low-tech but has worked beautifully for us.

Subject: [Videolib] disc storage devices
Weve been using the Imation Stakka disc storage
devices for storing our circulating DVDs, and
they are a constant headache. It seems theyre
not really capable of handling the volume of use
they get here. On reading customer reviews of
other comparable devices, it looks like they all
have the same issues when put to that kind of
use. Our space is very limited, so we need to
find an alternative besides having every DVD on
the shelf in its case. Im interested in any
solutions list members have foundhigh or low tech.
Thanks in advance!
