General Guidelines

Follow the guidelines below for DVDs containing both movies and data files.

  • Remove all shrink wrap and adhesive seals before placing barcodes on items.
  • If necessary, cover text or pictures.
  • Place the barcode on the outer plastic box, in the upper left corner of the back, leaving room below for a date due slip. 
  • Do not cover the ISBN (if present).

Boxed Sets

Boxed sets should follow the same guidelines as booksets.

  • Each separately cased piece in a box should be barcoded individually.
  • Do not barcode the box. This is so each piece can be circulated on its own.
  • Boxed sets that are not not in separate cases going to VIDL should be treated according to the content.
  • If each DVD is a separate movie, rehouse the DVDs in separate cases and barcode them separately.
  • If the DVDs are episodes in a series leave them in the original case and barcode the case.

Other Situations

If you are processing something which does not conform to these procedures, please see your supervisor.
