I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has been collecting
feature films in DVD format, and from folks who have chosen NOT to collect
in this format.  Our faculty is very interested in seeing us expand our
DVD holdings, but there is some hesitation in investing
in yet another format for movies that may or may not last, and requires a
different kind of equipment to utilize.  Does any library actually
circulate viewers?

Thanks for any information you may provide.
