Re: [Videolib] VHS Collections
We still maintain a circulating VHS collection. We will buy VHS for a faculty member if there is no DVD available and we buying DVDs copies for VHS items based on circulation statistics and faculty requests. We are not actively weeding our VHS collection yet. We are allowing any VHS tapes that we also have a DVD copy to circulate to our consortial partners. We have some unique documentaries and foreign films on VHS that may be of interest.

I've posted this to the PADG and Archives list as well, but I wanted to get your thoughts on how your institution may be handling VHS tapes. We used to have a policy in place where we would play these tapes to prevent packing, but this hasn't been done in years. Is anyone still doing this? Are you converting VHS tapes to DVD or are you converting them for streaming? Are you replacing these where appropriate (within the constraints of copyright law? How often do you weed, if at all, and how do you "persuade" selectors to work with these collections and make decisions? Are there any other strategies you're using for evaluating existing collections? Also, how are you following or dealing with copyright issues relating to this subject. I appreciate any help.

Re: [Videolib] Fair Use Liberation Army
This response is merely about the car thief analogy not the copyright issue. I have always found the car thief analogy to misleading. If an individual could make a copy of a car that is nearly the same as the original car, then return the original car (to their parents, friends, etc.), I think the auto industry would dealing with similar issues. Also Toyota doesn't price the vehicle by how many people you are going to be in the car at the same time or whether the car is for personal or commercial use.

Re: [Videolib] advice needed
I once had to catalog a set of titles that had DVD and CD-ROMs with video files. They were all burns from VHS copies. All were mass market DVDR and CDR with the titles written in black markers in a clear plastic jewel cases. We put all DVD material in locked cases for open browsing so we created cover inserts with the title, organization name, running time, date of production and the summary from the catalog record. All played fine and we cataloged them without issue. You often see this with self-produced items. It's great that people can get their own stuff out themselves.
