What is the makeup of the DVD collection? Mostly feature film?
Are is a comparable collection of feature films in the VHS collection?
What percentage of the circulation do they account for?
Are you still purchasing in VHS format? To what degree is the DVD
circulation an indication of currency of content?
Just a few thoughts
