Sending on behalf of Pamela Bristah, pbris...@wellesley.edu --------------------------- Dear Collective Wisdom,
Our library DVDs are open-stack, in security cases. We'd like to save money by not casing all our DVDs. Have other academic libraries tried this? If so, what categories of DVDs do you case, and which do you leave un-cased? And, how has this worked out for you? We're particularly interested in responses from schools like Wellesley-- liberal arts colleges not in major cities-- but would love to hear your story, whatever kind of school yours is. many thanks, Pamela -------------------------------- Gisèle Tanasse Head, Media Resources Center 150 Moffitt Library #6000 University of California Berkeley, CA 94720-6000 PH: 510-642-8197 BCAL: nerdpo...@berkeley.edu NOTE: PART TIME SCHEDULE Monday-Thurs 8AM-2PM
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.
