As we wrap up the academic year, we want to brag for a second. In a typical semester, we add about 200 or 300 new DVDs. Our collection grew by over 3000 titles in four years, which is a pretty great pace.
According to our stats, during the spring 2016, we added 672 new DVDs to our shelves! That’s two-to-three times the normal semester output and almost a full year’s worth of additions. Much of this can be chalked up to the huge volume of television we purchased (44 discs of Frasier!).
Our staff worked tirelessly to get these DVDs onto the shelf as quickly as we could, and we’re proud of the sheer volume we got through. For television shows, we have to make sure all the episodes play correctly, create cases for each disc so we can circulate them individually, and catalog them so you can find them and check them out. It takes almost everyone in our unit to push these through at the rate we did, so kudos to everyone (especially our student staff, who process the cases) for the job well done.
