  1. While I like that having this option of both ratings on one disc as it saves on both space and waste, however, it does set up a challenge when deciding which rating to post on the spine label. Our library usually goes with the UR label to cover ourselves if a patron does complain, but the patron may not realize that there is the R rating disc as well. I suppose we could list both ratings on the spine label...but as we all know from working in libraries that the possibility of complaint (my kid put in the wrong version, you shouldn't have such racy material, etc) is greater with this option.

  2. TeamAniston! brings up an excellent point. While putting just the highest rating of the two ratings on the spine by itself is a viable solution, so is putting both rating stickers on it.

    How do other librarians go about labeling a single product that actual contains two differently rated editions within it? Post your feedback here as comments!
