Hi Deg (et. al.),
We're basically ignoring the digital copies / UltraViolet content. If a
code is included for one-time use, we remove the code so as not to cause
patron confusion. We determined that taking the discs out of the
packaging would require new cases or cause confusion for our patrons and
desk attendants (and in some cases the digital content is on the main
feature disc itself). I'd originally thought we might get some
questions from patrons, but that doesn't seem to be happening -- I don't
think many people are cued into the digital copy / Ultraviolet 'bonuses'.
Best,

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.
