I've never heard of this...all our videos are stored on metal shelves
and seem to be fine. The shelves aren't magnetic, so I don't think
they'd be demagnetizing anything! Perhaps the teacher used that
particular tape and accidentally did something to it... :-)

Dear Group,
Is it bad to store videos on metal shelves? Last year we had to
change from wooden shelves because we were out of room. Part of one
tape is not working...just goes black and white after playing about
half. The teacher said he read somewhere that they could become
demagnetized. In my 25 or more years of education (13 of them in the
library) I have never heard or read about this at all. I am horrified!
I hope more aren't ruined, but so far we haven't noticed any others not
working. If it is bad, can you cover those shelves with shelf paper or
anything to prevent bad things happpening. As always, thanks for your
help. Geri
