Dennis Doros, I second that emotion!
totally agree that A-V preservation should be part of ALA annual
programming--and it would be wonderful if AMIA could help out with expertise.
The VideoRoundtable is looking for program proposals for 2015 right now. I
hope someone will rise to the challenge!
Well at the risk of being jumped on VHS does not fit the copyright code
definition of an obsolete format so unless you document that every VHS you
are weeding is literally in the process of deteriorating not just a pain in

the catch 22 is that when institutions make copies of out of print VHS titles
it makes it that much harder for rights holder to justify the enormous cost of

Matt asked: "How much does it cost to burn a DVD from one's computer?"
I'll go ahead and answer that even though it was a rhetorical question.
Buying a one-off title from a filmmaker / distributor has costs, even if

Dear Maureen,
We has nearly 1000 members across the country and around the world. I
believe that our board member Elena Rossi-Snook is having a panel at ALA
but I'm not entirely sure. But if the VideoRound Table would like to

Gary Handman (UCB) and Chris Lewis (AU) shared lists of titles which they
found to be out of print ... a few years ago. I will try to find in the
archives later today and post ... off to a meeting.
