Becky-- Midwest Tapes carries replacement discs for some sets. We order replacements from them when available. Otherwise, we order a new set. Would your library circulate a book with a few pages torn out or order a new book?
=) Julie Julie Bradford Assistant Head of Audio Visual Services 1919 West 81st AVE Merrillville, IN 46410 Hi, all, What is your general practice on DVDs of television shows that have a missing/damaged discs that cannot be individually replaced. Do you circulate the title with the remaining discs, or do you discard the whole package and order a new set? Or does it depend on the type of show - Law & Order episodes are individual, where as other shows are more serial and have continuing story arcs. Thanks a lot!

"Hey Lady, Where do you keep the good movies?" 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.
