We purchase a large number of DVDs each year, both feature film and
educational. All circulate for 7 days, with no renewal. We schedule
the titles for classroom use as requested by faculty and students. I
will say I haven't been overly impressed by the circulation stamina of
the DVD format, but what are you going to do?

Subject: [Videolib] Academic library DVD checkout policies
Hello,
I have been reading the public library discussion about collection
policies for DVDs, and would be very interested in how academic
libraries handle their entertainment DVDs as well. We have quite a few
DVDs that were purchased for use in class that have great entertainment
value, and I purchase a few every year that are purely for fun. My
question is, do you allow your DVDs to go out for non-classroom use, and
how long?
Thanks,
Judith
