Hi, I'm hoping to tap into the vast knowledge and experience available amongst
videolibbers.
Our library system is investigating moving to RFID from our current system.
Does anyone use the Stingray tags on their discs? If so, could you email me
answers to these questions?
1)How hard are they to apply?
2)Have you had many discs ruined by the removal or attempted removal of the
tags?
3)Have customers removed the tags and applied them to blank or "old" discs and
returned those instead of the library disc?
4)I've read that too many tags stacked can negate the reader's ability to sense
the tags. How do you deal with multi-disc cases.
5)How do you deal with double-sided discs?
6)Have customers reported difficulties playing discs with the Stingray tag on
them?
Any other information of real-life usage would be helpful.
Thanks,
Karen Fischer

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.
