I am not a member of the ACQNET List but was wondering if any other 
librarians have come up with a solution to this problem.  We frequently
buy 
videos in sets, when one tape of the set is broken, we usually have to 
re-purchase the entire set just to replace the one broken tape. Do other 
libraries just re-purchase the set? Do they just discard the  new tapes 
that aren't needed? Replace the whole set? Keep the not needed tapes 
somewhere?  Thanks in advance for your help.
