They have never circulated here since I first came aboard 7 years ago. We've also seen that our audio CDs also do not circulate as much.

We no longer have players in our media area and obviously the format is obsolete...while I'm actively replacing VHS with DVD - I am not sure I want to go this route with audio.... We have mostly classical music and spoken word. Any ideas? Rhonda Rhonda Rosen| Head, Media & Access Services William H.
