Ruthmary, at MSVU we have dealt with non-print items like videos, computer discs and audiocassettes by placing an empty dummy container (usually not the original) on the shelves with a message attached that the actual material is available at the Circ desk. Of course this requires that there be adequate shelving in our Circ area but so far we've had no problem either with access or space.

This approach has been very popular with our students. Now we are beginning to acquire DVDs and we are wondering how to deal with the security issues resulting from putting them out in a public area. Do any of you have DVD collections in publicly accessed areas? Or are you planning such a collection? How have you dealt with the security issues? Your advice gratefully received.
