Hi All,

A few years ago we installed a security system for our open-stacks DVDs that 
involved sticking an inventory control "hub ring" on the discs right around the 
hole in the center.  We wound up not using that system, but we still have a lot 
of DVDs with the hub rings attached.  Every now and then a disc will get stuck 
in someone's laptop because of the hub ring and it's kind of a pain to get them 
out, so we're thinking about going back and removing all the hub rings.  But, 
doing so will leave a sticky residue behind which would be worse than the hub 
ring.  Does anyone know of a safe way to remove the sticky residue?  Just the 
careful application of Goo Gone, perhaps?

Cheers,

Matt

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.
