I had a request from a faculty member, who had managed with some finagling to borrow a copy from the Institut, despite the label's indication prohibiting that, and who wanted me to make a converted copy. I didn't make it, but it seems that the film can't be had anywhere else. The label on the tape indicates that it is to be used solely for instruction at the Institut. I have two questions: Is anyone familiar with this situation who perhaps has resolved it somehow, and does anyone have a VHS of this film that could be borrowed, perhaps for a semester? Even though I could provide the converter so that this copy could be used, it has to go back soon, and we're not sure we could borrow it again.
