[Libs-Or] Fwd: CD and DVD copy integrity questions

[Jackie May]

We use sharpies to write "JCLD" on each disc and also use a
center-of-the-disc circle label with our library name printed on it. Any
oddball  discs we get back are put on our "problem shelf" with a call to
the last patron using item and also a message on patron's account. If
correct disc is not returned, patron will get a bill. A lot of our
processing is done by our wonderful volunteers, to help save staff time.
Hope this helps,
Jackie
