Subject: Blu-ray discs

Hello.  I am a new member to this list.  I am the Media Selector for a 
very large
county library district.  We are thinking about adding Blu-ray discs to 
our collection. 
My question is: for those of you with sizable DVD collections, do you 
also purchase Blu-ray discs? 
Do you plan on switching over to this new format in the future?  In 
light of recent announcements
from Wal-Mart, Disney, etc. it seems that Blu-ray will be widely 
distributed and may even
eclipse regular old DVD's in the next few years.  I am curious as to 
what other libraries
are doing about this issue.  Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Danielle Phillips
