[Videolib] multi-disc sets and open stacks

For those of you out there with browsing collections where the discs are kept behind a circ desk and the cases are out for browsing: How do you handle check-out of multi-disc sets? Do you create generic cases (and barcode) for each individual DVD or CD in a set, or do you shelve the original pa

[Videolib] two asian studies questions

I'm in need of the collective wisdom of videolib for two questions I received from our Asian studies faculty. 1. "Where can I get Indian films that aren't knock-offs?" 2. The professor is developing a course on images of Buddha in film. Any titles I can recommend to him? Many thanks,
