hello all.
My library systems has a rule: if you purchased it as a set, you must 
circulate it as a set.  However, I am not thrilled with this rule.  
First off, I myself like the TV series 24.  However, I can't watch all 
24 hours in one week (our circ period)!  I much would have preferred if 
the disks could have been loaned individually.  If they're cataloged in 
the same manner consistently, patrons would easily be able to order the 
correct disk.  For example: Sopranos, season 4, 8th episode.  Or Sex and 
the City, season 1, episode 7.  This would also have the added benefit 
of boosting circulation!  I regret to say that my colleagues in the 
system do not agree with me and so the rule stands as circulating sets 
only, but I still think my method would have been preferable.
