Simply converting analog to digital is not copyright infringement. As to companies that do it, I'm sure they exist, but here at our media lab we have usb turntables and in-drive cassette decks that allow patrons to convert to mp3/audio- files -of- choice on their own.

A colleague sent me this question: "A friend of mine asked if I knew of an individual or company, preferably local, that transfers LP recordings to CDs. Do you know of such an entity?" My first thought it that this sounds like it would be a violation of copyright and I will advise her of that...that being said...does anyone know of such a company who will do this? Thanks in advance, Julie Julie Bradford Assistant Head of Audio Visual Services Lake County Public Library 1919 West 81st AVE Merrillville, IN 46410 The best thing ever said by a four-year-old patron to my boss.... "Hey Lady, Where do you keep the good movies?" VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. 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.
