This thread was earlier this week, but since I had to become a
videolib member in order to get this message published, I thought that
it was worth sending..
There is a google spreadsheet the I maintain that listed info on
multimedia production areas in libraries.

I have a faculty member looking for video and/or audio recordings of Virgil
Thomson's opera Four Saints in Three Acts with libretto by Gertrude Stein and
video of the Mark Morris Dance Company's adaptation. According to Worldcat,
there might be some public television recordings out there
Hello Everyone and Happy Friday! The issue of placing AV material in
bookdrops has come up at my library, and I wanted to put out a quick,
informal survey to my fellow VidLibbers in academic libraries to pose a
few questions...
1) Do you allow for the return of AV materials (DVDs, VHS, etc.)
we do not have a book drop for av materials, and probably never will.
Too complicated, and not a good idea for us in Media.

Hello!
1) Do you allow for the return of AV materials (DVDs, VHS, etc.) via
book drop? If not, what are your reasons for not doing so? *We do. All
of our titles are in hard cases (not jewel cases) and have held up well
under tons of books. We worried that DVD especially would pop out of

We recently integrated our Media Services and Collection with the Circulation
Desk area. (Budget cuts, staff cuts, etc.). We have always had a separate
drop box for the media, even before we moved, so most students are used to the
drop box. Circulation is very good about emptying the drop
For the last several years we have allowed AV materials to co-mingle with books
in the same book drop.
We have all DVDs and tapes in durable cases and have had minimal problems with
damage.

Same here. We've got a small drop box that has weathered the times for
over ten years. The occasional CD would sometimes get lodged between the
wall of the drop and the spring-loaded cart, but very few times have we
had any real damage.

Here at USC we adamantly request that our patrons return their dvds
directly to the Circulation Desk
at our Leavey Library. Absolutely no returning films to other libraries
on campus or depositing them in
book drops or book bins. As the Leavey Library is open 24 hours during
the semester
I've run 35mm theaters for the past decade and am a skilled projectionist, as
well as a manager.As much as I appreciate 35mm, I generally recommend that
my film programmers avoid booking old 35mm prints, because the large
distributors can't easily control or guarantee the quality of the
