When we acquire an item with restrictions, such as "site license" or only users from the purchasing organization (students, faculty, staff) we make a note in the MARC record and we put a label on the box, with the type of restriction. That way, the circulation staff should see the label at checkout. We use the locking cases, so there has to be staff handling of the case to remove the lock on the box. We also limit the borrowing period or borrower if an item is over $150. So the CRM, Starthrower and other costly items can not be loaned at all to external borrowers.

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.
