Can DVDs and VHS tapes be digitized for streaming in my Canvas course?
Answer
If you would like to inquire about options for digitizing a VHS or DVD, place a Course Reserves Request to get started.
Due to copyright restrictions, we are not able to simply digitize entire VHS tapes or DVDs in the library collections or owned by faculty. Each request has to be examined individually, based on the amount of content to be digitized, copyright ownership, available permissions, and fair use analysis.
The library also has a large collection of streaming video databases that could possibly meet your needs. Before considering digitizing a VHS or DVD, in whole or in part, we will check to see if we can purchase or license the film from one of our many subscriptions.
You can also reach out to your Subject Librarian with questions.
