Gary, the Kastenmeier guidelines for using material taped off-air (by institutions) involve showing it once and erasing the program after 45 days. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/Kastenmeier.html Jonathan says "Many faculty members have off-air recordings on video tape ..." That means they taped the material ages ago and have been using it for years, most likely...
Judy, who dreads the hand-labelled tape. 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.
