[Publib] Automatic CD/DVD Storage/Dispenser unit

[Helen Rigdon]

We too dealt with the issue of how to store our growing DVD collection.  We
were putting the empty cases out and the disks in sleeves in storage cases
behind the desk.  After getting the information from the Andover P.L., we
ordered the automatic storage/dispensers, called CD Library II.  We ordered
4 and so far they are working great.  The staff had to figure out the order
to set them up and then get them running but they did it in just a few days.
I feel that the disks are better protected in this machine instead of the
flimsy sleeves we were using.

Due to a rash of thefts we are considering new security measures for parts
of our music CD and DVD collections.  Currently we have no security on CDs
and use DVD cases with plastic strip that makes opening them difficult. The
Andover P.L. in Kansas was kind enough to share a solution - an automatic
storage/dispenser called the DC 300 that stores 150 disks.  Units can be
stacked. In this scenario the user brings the empty case to the service
desk.  The unique number on the case is scanned or entered into the storage
unit and the disk pops out.  Has anyone discovered a similar product that
holds more discs or a different product that accomplished the same thing?
Several Internet searches have not produced an alternative. Before we take
the plunge I thought would check publib.
