Dear colleagues, We currently have our circulating DVD collection out and although each title is tattle-taped, there is nothing to prevent anyone from taking a DVD and watching it without checking it out. That means of course we have no usage statistics, and materials are put away in the wrong place, damaged, etc.
I'm wondering if anyone uses any secure packaging to prevent this kind of thing? Such as this: http://www.demco.com/goto?BLS173440&ALL0000&es=20140811154214728245 If you do, could you let me know? If it's cost effective, I am going to look into these. Thanks for your input.

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.
