Okay, you've reinforced what I was thinking: we can't assume permission to make DVD copies from our set of old-but-functional VHS tapes.
My question now is whether anyone can give me contact information for a person or department at WGBH or BBC, who can tell me how/where to request permission. I know, it's not very likely we'll get permission, but it couldn't hurt to ask. Thanks, Marilyn 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.
