You definitely would not want to put them on a DVD, unless it was a round donut type. It would not spin evenly in a drive. We are using these tags, and only mark the cases. We also still double-box the feature films. For VHS we do place the label over one of the windows on top, and, mostly, that works. Val

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.
