Hello,

We have had several professors request our media services to make DVD
copie= s of VHS tapes that either belong to the university library or to
their own private collection. Our librarians are searching for DVD
copies of the VHS tapes that are in the library=B9s collection and they
even research for video= s from faculty private collection. When the DVD
version cannot be found, the faculty come to us.

What would your recommendations be =AD could we claim Fair Use and make
one DVD copy for classroom use? What about the professor who gets a VHS
from Interlibrary Loan? I know we won=B9t do videos from Blockbuster,
etc.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Christine
