Video vs. DVD

This week, I had a request for a title we had in VHS format but that needed to be in DVD format to be useful to the student. This is one of the logistical and financial challenges in the IRC right now! Academic titles were slow to move to DVD, and our earliest feature films requested by students or faculty were primarily VHS as well. DVD as a format has many advantages over VHS as a teaching medium so one of the things on tap for this summer is evaluating the video collection to see what titles we have that we should repurchase in DVD format. If you have suggestions as we work on that task, I'd love to hear from you!
