All DVDs and CDs should be repackaged into the designated slim cases, unless they already come in a slim case. Four cases are available:

• Single DVD case
• Double DVD case
• CD case with sleeve
• CD jewel case

Multi-disc policy:

In general, most discs should be repackaged into single cases. For example, individual episodes of television programs, multi-volume motion pictures, and separate widescreen and fullscreen editions should be packaged in single cases. Only use a double case when the 2^nd disc is essentially accompanying material to the 1^st disc, such as a disc of bonus materials. If a multi-disc title meets the criteria for a double case, but it has a booklet, use single cases if it means the booklet could fit inside a case rather than being housed separately. If you are not certain if a double case should be used, consult your supervisor.

• If single cases are used:
  
  Create item records and apply barcodes for each case. Use the volume (v) field in the item record to designate each part.

• If a double case is used:
  
  Only one barcode and one item record is necessary per double case. In the item record, include a message (m) field "2 DVDs  IN CASE".

Repackaging procedure:

Cataloging:     

• Transfer the disc(s) to the new case(s)
• Create item record(s) for each case and barcode appropriately
• If present, transfer enclosed booklet to new case (if multiple cases, enclose the booklet in case 1). See below for accompanying booklet procedures.
• Use a rubber band to attach old case(s) to new case(s) and send to physical processing together as a unit.

• Transfer sleeve artwork/packaging insert from old case(s) to new case(s), if possible. If necessary, fold to fit, but do not trim. If only one insert is present in the original case and there are multiple new cases, transfer the insert to case 1. Do not photocopy insert for additional cases. Discard/recycle original case(s).
• Print and apply call number label(s) to new case(s).

2.         Accompanying Booklets

• If booklet fits inside case, do not create separate item record, do not barcode. Mark call number on the booklet as you would for a book and include designation "booklet." In the item record for the case that contains the booklet, add message (m) field to describe the contents of the case (e.g., "1 DVD and 1 booklet," "1 DVD and 1 guide," etc.).
• If booklet does not fit inside case, create separate item record (ITYPE = 29), barcode, and designate "booklet" in the volume (v) field of the item record. Mark call number on the booklet as you would for a book and include designation "booklet."
• For single page inserts, guides, indexes, artwork, etc. that do not contain significant content, keep them in the case, but do not mark them and do not describe them in the item record.
• If you are not sure about how to treat a booklet, consult your supervisor.
