Dear colleagues,
The drive here at London Metropolitan is towards self-service. Currently
our DVD collection is housed on open access in Proloc cases and the
discs are additionally protected by 3M security strips. It has been
mooted by senior management that, in order to facilitate self-service,
that the collection should come out of Prolocs. Naturally, I have some
reservations about this as we have a large collection of feature films
which would be vulnerable to theft and would like to hear from any other
institutions with past and present experience, both good and bad, of
housing DVDs on open access without security cases.
