[OPLINLIST] Video games

[Bryan Howard]

Jennifer,

 

We have been circulating games for close to 2 years now.  To make sure that
we get the booklets back we put the barcodes on the back of the booklet.
Therefore we cannot check the game back in unless we have the booklet.  This
has worked extremely well for us, and the video game collection has been a
huge success.

Hello,

 

We just started circulating video games (xBox, Wii, PS3, etc.) a few weeks
ago.  Already we are starting to see some games come back without the game
manuals or with the manuals damaged.  How are other libraries handling this?
Do you charge the patron? How much? Do you still circulate the game without
the manual? Do you try to replace the manual? If so, what are your sources?

 

Thanks in advance!
