Missing DVD Discs

There have been a number of movie discs missing from the books lately. There are three empty boxes on the problems shelf right now, and I am about to add another one. In another variation on the theme, we found some of our library's movie discs filed away in the video circuit notebooks. Coincidental with all this, we have had a number of young, first-time volunteers who have been helping us empty the returned dvd boxes. Some of them seem to rush to get things done and perhaps they aren't fully instructed in where things go. Maybe it isn't their fault at all; summer is crazy, afterall. Any ideas?

Comments:
Perhaps we need to reconsider who we authorize to put away the DVDs and CDs. This can really be a problem. It is my thought that if this problem grows we will have limit the putting away of disks to our paid pages, and staff.

Are we still considering a long term solution to this problem? sp
 
We are always considering how best to work with the disks. It is constantly on my mind and I look for solutions whenever I visit another library or meet people who are also dealing with this issue.

We will have two paid pages starting in August to cover Zoltan's time so I think we will continue to use them as best we can as we watch the products that are constantly coming on the marketand continue the discussion.
