I use the spinner and always put a copy of it with any paperwork I may have referring to the damaged copy that I cannot purchase a replacement for, in any format.

But I am still not clear on whether you can only make a vhs copy from a damaged vhs copy, or whether you can make a dvd copy from a damaged vhs copy.

So I understand: you can only make a vhs replacement copy from a vhs, but you 
can't make a dvd replacement copy from a vhs???

The restriction to use in  the library only pertains to the digital
copy (DVD).

So if you were to copy a VHS to VHS (tho unlikely) the copy can leave
the premises

Also, it's important to note that the section permit duplication if
an unused copy is not available for purchase.  The law does not
permit making a DVD copy of a VHS that has not been released on DVD
if it is still distributed in VHS.

Question 1:  This is totally counter-intuitive (and just plain
stupid), but, Section 108 of the copyright law sez that if the title
in hand is no longer in distribution or obtainable at fair-market
elsewhere (in the same or other formats) you can make a copy.  The
copy (not the original!!!) is to be used only within the library
building.  Totally insane!
