Hello Heidi,
Yes, we do send out VHS tapes for ILL use, as long as there are no
licensing agreements that prohibit it. First we check to see if it is
something that is out-of-print, and if so, we have the borrowing library
agree that their patron will use the item on-site. We've been ILL'ing
media for two years now, and haven't yet lost any materials. (Only
replacements we've had to do were for DVDs that were packed improperly
and damaged in shipping.)
Best,
--

Hi All,
I have a question...do your libraries circulate VHS tapes through
Inter-Library Loan?
Thanks,

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.
