New Survey: What's Popular in Your Library?

No one knows patrons better than librarians. Therefore, in order to better help librarians with their collection development, we’d love the opportunity to learn and share what materials your community enjoys.

This year we're introducing a new feature in our Monthly Buyer’s Guides called Librarian's Choice. Our aim is to survey our customers about what movies, music, and audiobooks perform well at their branches or that they would recommend. We will then compile and share select survey results via the Librarian's Choice feature, which means you and your feedback could be featured in our next catalog!

We would greatly appreciate you taking a moment to complete the survey. If you have any questions, please contact marketing specialist Chris Shop at cshope@midwesttapes.com and 800.875.2785. You can also email us here at News & Views at newsandviews@midwesttapes.com.

Blu-ray Combo Packs: Midwest Tape Needs Your Feedback

The Blu-ray Disc™ versions of Gran Torino, Snow White, 17 Again, Hannah Montana: The Movie, and an array of Disney titles all come with a DVD version of the film within their Blu-ray packaging (some for only a limited time).  We understand that these alternative packaging schemes (i.e., Blu-ray “Combo Packs”) can disrupt normal processing and cataloging workflows.  Therefore, we’d love to hear your feedback, particularly to the following two questions:

How do you deal with Blu-ray Combo Packs within your library?

Would you wait to order the Blu-ray version of a title if you knew it would be available later without the additional DVD?

Please include the question(s) you're responding to as well as your contact information in your comment.  Thanks.
