We did away with printed receipts/date due slips this summer. So far no problems. Auto generated email notices go out to patron with date due right after checkout and then a reminder is sent when the items are coming due and another when they are overdue. Does not seem to be generating problems so far.

Greetings everyone and apologies for cross-posting, We are exploring the idea of going paperless and doing away with due date slips for books. Before extending this to media materials, I'm curious to know if any of you with circulating CD and/or DVD collections have already abandoned the due date slip and, if so, how you inform patrons about due dates and how this has worked to get materials returned on time. Thanks! -lisa H. Head Music and Media Librarian Tulane University 504.314.7822 @lkHMusLibrarian
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.
