[Videolib] old vhs tapes
Hi all, We are , like many of you, replacing old VHS tape content with DVDs or streaming when possible. What are you doing with the VHS tape? Keeping it or discarding it? Or putting it on a digital master for safekeeping? Thanks, Rhonda Rhonda Rosen| Circulation Services Librarian William H.

It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
[Videolib] Replacing VHS with DVD
That catarchive.com is able to do so, provide permission to duplicate or sell new DVD copies is terrific. I have some catarchive titles I need to replace. But the reality is that for many titles by many producers and/or distributors, that is not possible. So the Catarchive approach is not the only efficient and civilized approach. US Copyright provides specific recourse for libraries NOT able to find new copies of the titles in their VHS (or 3/4 or beta, orŠ.) collections -deg On 1/13/15 2:01 PM, videolib-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu videolib-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu wrote: Our extensive archive of arts, documentary and performance footage. -- catarchive.com -- was only available on VHS for the first thirty years, and is now available only on DVD. When we are asked by a library if they can transfer their old VHS to DVD we say yesand if you want us to sell you a DVD from our master, we can do that too. That seems to me the only efficient and civilized way to meet the challenge of one technology obsoleting another.
