[Videolib] VHS to DVD transfer and copyright

Hey, I know has been gone over much before, but could someone point me
to a good (clear?) site about the legality of libraries transferring VHS
to DVD and the circumstances in the US Copyright code that allow it? I
know it is in Section 108 of the code, but I need some non-legal English
to point folks to. Thanks.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
