[LM_NET] Target: changing from videotape to DVD

[Donna Guild <donnaguild@CHARTER.NET>]

Hi Everyone,

We have an Instructional Media Center with over 1600 videotapes.  
Blank videotapes are getting harder and harder to find, and our  
district is no longer repairing the VCRs in the classrooms. Obviously  
we are going to have to move to DVDs and DVD players in the  
classrooms in the future, and there is no money set aside to complete  
such a huge conversion.

What are the rest of you doing? Even if you are dealing with updating  
the smaller collections of videotapes found in most school libraries,  
I'm hoping you might have some great, affordable ideas.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I will post a hit if there is  
interest.
