Hello Pamela,

Are your DVD plastic cases in good condition? We could use quite a few, if=
all their main components are in proper working order (do they hold the DV=
Ds in place, do they shut properly, any cracks on the cases or the sleeves?=
)

Speaking of "environmental unfriendly" plastic DVD cases, we just replaced =
our DVD collection with "Red Tag" security cases and have aprox. 3200 cases=
available that will get sent to the landfill unless anyone out there would=
like to purchase for the cost of shipping. I inquired about having them r=
ecycled and we would have to send them to California which would cost about=
$500.00. Shipping per box runs around $15.00 per box of 100.

Most are single cases with a smattering of "slim" cases and a few double or=
triple, various manufacturers. Contact me if you would like some.

I have had the same problem. They do not last long and get lost on the she=
lves - between other holdings and patrons complain because they cannot find=
them. We are also putting them in the same old "environmental unfriendly"=
plastic DVD cases AGAIN.

We have several of these "environmental friendly" DVDs in our collection. U=

Just wanted to ask any libraries or distributors on the use of "green" DVD =
packaging. We've noticed a few companies using the new flat, paper cases fo=
r their titles and wanted to know if there were any issues for libraries in=
cataloging or storing them, any preferences, etc.

Thank you,

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.
