The following statement on the University of Washington copyright page discusses making DVD copies of VHS tapes and seems to say it can only be done in limited cases and then the DVD could only be used in-house:
http://www.uwc.edu/academics/copyright/kinds-of-content/dvd-video When can the format be changed? (For example, from VHS to DVD or streaming media.) Only in limited circumstances. Format changes are not defined as a Fair Use exemption of Section 107 of Title 17 and do not qualify as lawful reproduction under 108, either. In the event that a VHS video is lost, stolen, damaged, or is on an obsolete format (such as laser disc, beta, of 3/4" tape), and the video is not available on DVD at a reasonable cost, a library can make a digital copy. The digital copy, however, can be only used in-house and cannot be distributed off-campus (e.g. via Interlibrary Loan).
