In Wirral we are reviewing our charging policies for Sound and Vision items. We currently have an annual subsription and "pay as you go" for audio items and just a hire charge for DVDs. We are considering a monthly subscription model (as per Netflix for example) for all our Sound & Vision material and wondered: 1. If any authority has adopted a similar charging model ? 2. If so how much per month / year ? 3. Users able to pay by direct debit ? 4. Any limits to how many items can be loaned at any one time ? 5. Given the loss/non-return of items (particularly of expensive DVD box sets) does anyone implement a deposit charge on top of the subscription ? Thank you for your help Peter Peter Aspinall (Principal Library Manager)
