After consultation with Evelyn I decided to do the following with the DVD cases. This plan is to get the use of cases done as quickly as possible and the plan may change down the line but for now here is how we will implement their use.

1. All the video circuit DVDs will be in cases.
2. All the children's DVDs will be in cases.
3. Any DVD returned from now until we run out of cases, there are plenty more in the back, will go into a case rather than the book except the following:

• The pay videos
• The British collection
• The TV shows if they are 3 or more disks

Any questions? This should help to alleviate the large number of cases under the desk and also to get as many DVDs in cases as possible. By putting the returned DVDs in the cases we may be targeting the most popular items. That will be helpful on the pulling DVD side as well.

When putting the returned DVD into the case please make sure that the correct disk is in the case. Once you put it in the case we have no way to check if something is missing unless someone tries to take it out again.

The teen who is coming on Friday should be shown how to put the DVDs into the cases If there are no DVDs to put away pull some children's DVDs and let the person pull them from book and put them into cases. Friday staff can work that out with Michaele. She has agreed to put children's DVDs into cases.

Thanks. If you find this is not good idea or have a better way to do this or a better idea how to implement the use to the cases more quickly please let me know. I am open to any ideas.
