Thank you -- that's what I thought. Therefore it doesn't make a lot of sense using the traditional DVD plastic packages if you will be replacing them anyway... it's a waste. So, I'll do my part with helping climate change and print my DVDs in the small eco-friendly packaging you see here. http://oceankeeperthemovie.com/dvd.html
The education version will be posted on Friday if you'd like to purchase one:) Cheers, Eileen Olivieri Torpey, Director www.oceankeeperthemovie.com On Mon, Jan 13, 2014 at 2:21 PM, Susan Weber <[email protected]> wrote: > If the question you are asking is, Do we repackage DVDs, rather than use > the vendor's cases, yes, most of us do that.

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.
