Greetings fellow library folk! Recently we had a feature DVD appear in the wrong collection on our shelf, as it is a French language film and ought to go to our world language DVD section. It was then lamented that the item's circ count was likely to go down, as materials in our world language collection (with the exception of MeL) have a notable lower circ stat. So we started brainstorming on the access services level as to what could be done to draw more attention to these items. The thought came up several times to integrate the world language DVD section with corresponding feature, non-feature, and TV series collections, while retaining the language label (the line of thought here being that patrons are not necessarily searching for materials on account of the language alone). Before presenting this suggested course of action to the collection manager, we wanted to send feelers out as to whether other libraries had already done such an integration: did you see an increase in circ counts for world language materials? Did patrons complain about the integration? Did shelving staff have a difficult time with it? Do you wish you could hit the rhetorical 'undo' button on this? We want to know! To spare folks a long email chain, direct messages are most appreciated - and if anyone is interested, I will collate the responses and share them. Lastly, if this is a topic that has been deliberated upon before, it would be immensely appreciated if someone would be able to forward that chain for our edification.
