<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi Ted. I have a little wisdom on this. First, if you choose to tag discs, don't use the little donut tags. They aren't effective and they come off easily inside people's DVD players. If you are going to
tag discs, get overlay tags. We found the Stingray tags to be the best. If you want sourcing info for those, we have that.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I will let someone else chime in on the issue of tagging cases vs. tagging discs. We've tried security cases, but at the volume of circulation we do, they were too much work for us and for patrons.<o:p></o:p></p>
