All of our TV boxed sets are requested by faculty for use in
their classes.  We don't spend money on audiovisual
materials that will not be useful for the curriculum that is
taught.  Money is scarce so spending on TV boxed sets that
don't serve the curriculum are not purchased.

No, all are suggested for purchase by faculty.  No student
requests for TV boxed sets are accepted.

> -What vendors do you order from?

All of the TV boxed sets that I have purchased I purchased
using Amazon.  I have not seen any other place with regular
discounts on the TV boxed sets.

Since the requests from faculty for TV boxed sets only
recently started, we haven't created a written TV boxed set.
 They are considered part of our overarching policy to
purchase what faculty indicate support the curriculum,
within reason.

Is it available to

Not currently.

-How popular are TV boxed sets in your

Oddly, they are not as popular has they are in public
libraries.  Our AV collection is currently being moved from
a closed collection (not browse-able) to a open collection
(out in the open and browse-able for library patrons).  I
assume that the lack of interest in them is because our
academic patrons don't believe that we would have TV boxed
sets.  Once our AV collection is fully open to patrons, I am
sure this will change.
