You can absolutely make a DVD copy, but it can't be made available to the public outside the building under 108. The new 2.0 version will allow you to enter your own information about the title you are making a replacement or preservation copy of and get it, and all the notes and information published in a PDF format (like the other tools). I'm also working on a similar 2.0 version of the Digital Slider, which will help determine the copyright protection/duration for works published or created in the USA.

But I am still not clear on whether you can only make a vhs copy from a damaged vhs copy, or whether you can make a dvd copy from a damaged vhs copy.
