Rhonda, a good question! If we replace the VHS with a purchased DVD or an in-perpetuity streaming file, we remove the VHS from the collection and discard it. (By law we are not permitted to give it away or to sell it)
If the title is in a subscription collection, we retain the VHS. If we have made a copy within Section 108 provisions, we retain the VHS but no longer make it available for use. The VHS is archived. -deg deg farrelly ShareStream Administrator/Media Librarian Arizona State University Libraries Tempe, AZ 85287-1006 602.332.3103 On 1/14/15 9:07 AM, "videolib-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu" <videolib-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu> wrote: >Hi all, >We are , like many of you, replacing old VHS tape content with DVDs or >streaming when possible.

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.
