I've had no trouble lending to students and staff. (Because they can be
fined, I have less trouble getting videos returned than I do with faculty...)
I find that it promotes goodwill and awareness of the video collection if
you have some popular titles available to the students. A relatively small
amount of money can be used to create a nice little collection of classics,
foreign films, etc. (No brand-new blockbusters. The residence life office
has a rental collection from Swank for that.)

Buffy: You need to have some fun.
Giles: I'll have you know that I have very many relaxing hobbies.
Buffy: Such as?
Giles: I enjoy cross-referencing.
