<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">The Seattle Colleges have not been creating DVD reproductions of commercially-produced VHS tapes (at least, not to my knowledge), specifically because (until last week)
VCRs were still being commercially manufactured. Our reading of 17 USC § 108(c) was that commercially-produced VHS tapes didn't yet quality as an obsolete format for which "right of reproduction" was permitted:

<p class="MsoNormal">Have any of you transferred videos from VHS to DVD for the library collection? We are working through a list of videos to see if they are available as DVD and plan to convert those that we are allowed according to copyright law.

<p class="MsoNormal">For those who have done this, what notes do you include in the catalog record? Has anyone gone to the AG for recommended language? We have examples from the OCLC list, but I would like examples from our state.
