Re: [Videolib] Blu-ray/DVD combo packs

[Lori Espinoza]

We separate ours into different cases. There are still many of our 
students/faculty/community who do not have a Blu-ray player. This way if 
someone wanted the Blu-ray they would not have both formats checked out 
at the same time. The DVD is then available for someone else to use in 
the mean time and vice versa. We do not have a large collection though 
and they are kept in their own area out in the stacks available for 
browsing.

Hello,

For those of you who include Blu-rays in your collections, how do you handle 
Blu-ray/DVD combo packs? Do you keep the Blu-ray and the DVD together, or do 
you separate them? Why did you decide to do what you do, and what have you 
found to be the advantages and disadvantages?

Thanks in advance.

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.
