<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Michlib!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Recently our library has started looking into offering a video game collection for our patrons. We offer DVDs for movies and music as well as Audio Books. We wanted to ask for some info regarding other library’s practices regarding vendors
and circulation practices;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Currently we use Midwest for our DVDs, however they don’t offer video games. We used to use Crimsoninc for our cd-roms and are looking at them, but other recommendations would be great!<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">We use locking cases for our DVDs and would most likely continue for consistency with our circulation process. Have any of your collections experienced issues with this?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Do you circulate consoles? If so, do you offer consoles with purchased digital copies of games or do patrons check out physical copies with them?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Are computer games a popular circulation option still? If so, do you offer them digitally in the library or through physical copies?<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance for any assistance or information anyone can provide!<o:p></o:p></p>
