Hi Milena, say were you at NMM and part of the late night dance group? I've 
been meaning to make an order with WMM since then but it's fallen off the 
plate. 

I'll get in touch about that.

Re: [Videolib] VHS Collections

[Gail Fedak]

Good afternoon,
We routinely check our VHS tapes on an RTI Tapechek, as well. We are 
also evaluating the collection in call # order, approximately 1000-2000 
titles per year, to determine which titles faculty want to keep and 
which they do not. This is a high priority for us since the collection 
is driven mainly by faculty request. I reserve final judgment on all 
recommendations. For all titles that are requested to be retained, we 
either purchase them in DVD (when available), hold in VHS for a 
subsequent evaluation, seek permission to transfer to DVD and do so if 
permitted, or transfer to DVD under Section 108. So far very few titles 
have fallen under Section 108. We have received permission to transfer a 
few titles at no cost or for the return favor of providing the copyright 
holder with a copy of the DVD. This process is expected to take several 
years since we are dealing with 12,000+ titles.

Hope this helps.
Gail

Good morning,

   I'm brand new to the list. 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. Thanks. --Andy

Hi Andy, 

We're still regularly running our tapes through an RTI tapechek -  this is done 
systematically, cleaning from the beginning to the end of the collection, then 
repeat. At the same time, we're identifying which VHS we also have on DVD and 
are preparing to send those tapes to remote storage. We haven't run into 
serious space issues, so no weeding yet. 

There are only a small handful of items we've transferred under Section 108.
