Good morning,
 
We are looking for ways to increase the use of our self-check machine, and
we know that one way to do this would be to install the option that allows
for video checkout.  I would like to ask those of you with self-check, do
you allow your patrons to self-check audio-visual materials?  If so, what
problems have you encountered?  We use security cases for many of our
audio-visual materials.  We are considering eliminating them if we permit
self-check of A-V.  What security issues have you run across due to the
self-check?
 
Thanks in advance for your input,
Jody
