My apologies, I referred to the 15th page of the PDF file, which is page
v. of the report.
The direct quote to which I refer, that appears on item 5 of the
Preservation and Replacement Exceptions Recommendations by the Section 108
Work Group Report, and that I quoted earlier, is this:
5. The prohibition on off-site lending of digital replacement copies
should
be modified so that if the library¹s or archives¹ original copy of a work
is
in a physical digital medium that can lawfully be lent off-site, then it
may
also lend for off-site use any replacement copy reproduced in the same or
equivalent physical digital medium, with technological protection mea-
sures equivalent to those applied to the original (if any).
As for your closing question:
<Just to clarify, is it your position that a library can make a copy and
<loan of ANYTHING it its collection ,book, DVD etc?...
This not my "position"Š. This is U.S. Copyright Law, provided the other
provisions of Section 108 are met.
(The provision to loan is a recommended change to the law from the study
group)

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.
