Dear Ceri and Liz,
We started to lend out Blu-Ray Discs in April 2009 so our service in
still in its infancy and under constant review. Due to constraints
within Talis, they are issued as DVDs so we cannot give you a
quantitative indication of their success at this time. We hope to
rectify this next year. However, they do seem to be issuing very well
and we will be increasing our stock. We have a mixture of new releases
and old titles. As with DVDs there is a £2/week charge. Four Blu-ray
Discs can be loaned at a time. This may be increased in the future.
So far we only loan Blu-Rays from the Central Library and not from
branches. Our disc cleaner has recently been upgraded for Blu-rays.
I would be interested in hearing about your experiences and anybody
else who responds.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Claire

Good morning.
Are any libraries on this list offering Blu-ray Discs for loan yet? If
so,
we'd be interested to know how well they are going, and how you are
managing the service: charges, length of loan etc.
Thanks in advance for any information.
