Yes you can legally make a digital copy that is used by the public on site. 108 does not say anything about the method of delivery, or about performance (streaming) for replacement copies, so that would specifically be covered under 108. Please take a look at the 108 spinner (and when asking to borrow it from another library, refer to section 108). http://librarycopyright.net/108spinner/

Hello, All. Our library owns a vhs copy of the title "Photographer's Eye" which is part of the "Creativity with Bill Moyers" series. It was done in 1989 by PBS Video with a run time of 28 minutes, and was originally shown on public television in 1982. Our copy has been used enough that it is no longer viewable. I checked with PBS and they no longer have this in their files. I googled the title and came up with nothing other than other libraries that owned it. My question, since there doesn't appear to be a replacement available for purchase, can we ILL/borrow this title from another library and make a copy for in-library use only? Since our copy is in vhs format, if I can borrow, is it permissible to make a replacement in-library use only on DVD format? or in streaming media? I have no idea whether or not we can even find a library that will allow loan us their copy, so this may all be moot anyway. Just thought I would ask the collective masses on this listserv for their opinions or suggestions. And if anyone knows where we can purchase this title, please let me know! Thanks in advance!

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.
