[OPLINLIST] Security Cases

[Weinstein, Robin]

Hi, Everyone,

Last year, we began to use new DVD security cases that require the use =
of a universal key to remove the case's security strips. Our staff have =
begun to voice concerns about the physical difficulty of opening the =
cases themselves and of removing their security strips with the key =
(hand, wrist, and shoulder soreness and repetitive motion stresses).

For those of you who have dealt with this issue, what was your solution? =
We do not want to use security gates, nor do we want to display the DVDs =
without security cases or keep them behind the circ desk. I would like =
to know what alternative security means you investigated and/or resorted =
to using?

Thanks!!
