About the Blu-ray collection

A Blu-ray category will be added to the DVD Dispenser catalog and the format will also be noted on all of the Blu-ray titles.

Blu-ray titles also will be listed in the library's online catalog seperately from standard DVD films.  However, as is the case with video games, titles will not allow holds to be placed in the online catalog,  as they will only be available through the DVD Dispenser catalog.

• Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
•  Fast and Furious
