NCSU Libraries occassionally reformats VHS tapes to DVD to continue to provide access to older format course materials. Not all VHS and older format resources can be converted to DVD. Collection Managment obtains conversion rights and permissions. As part of those permissions, NCSU Libraries must ensure that after conversion the VHS tape is not available for circulation. The Libraries may keep the VHS tape as an archival copy. A reformatting use note is placed in the ILS item record.

If A&D receives a converted DVD outside of a known project, please check with your supervisor before processing the DVD. Superviors should confirm with ADS and/or Collection Management that the conversion rights and permissions are in place.

  • Materials with a RUSH flag should be expedited
  • A&D will receive both the VHS tape and DVD
  • DVDs go to TEACH-DVD
  • VHS tapes go to bookBot (shadowed)

VHS Tape

  1. Discharge the VHS tape and checkout to CATALOGING
  2. Open VHS bib record in Sirsi
  3. In the Call Number/Item record:
    1. Note the current library and home location (the DVD will use the same library and home location)
    2. Update:
      1. Library = BOOKBOT
      2. Home Location = STACKS
      3. Item record = SHADOW ITEM
      4. Note: Some VHS tapes already use the library BOOKBOT and home location STACKS. In this case, you only need to shadow the item record.
    3. Add circ note: This VHS tape was reformatted to DVD in 2016 and should not circulate. Use the DVD format. Contact Collection Management for more information.
    4. Save and close the record

You can select the format you want to use for the new record," either select "VM" from the drop-down menu or cancel and change the Duplicate title wizard properties above.
