VHS to DVD--the Media Collection Upgrade Story at Himmelfarb Library

Abstract

From the mid-1980s through the mid-2000s, Himmelfarb’s collection of films, slides, audio and video tapes, and other similar “audiovisual” materials grew to over 1000 items. After an assessment of the A/V collection, it was determined that the videocassette tapes (VHS) could be converted or purchased to DVD format. This poster explains the background, process, results and conclusions of how the VHS-to-DVD conversion and replacement project was implemented.
