This research might be of interest to QuadList members.

I have some Un-opend 3/4" Scotch cassettes and 1" Fuji tape I will be donating.

Cheers from getting-warmer California

> Dear Colleagues,

> The University of South Carolina and Library of Congress are collaborating 
> on research to develop a non-destructive protocol to rapidly assess magnetic 
> media collections for sticky-shed syndrome. The initial tests on 1/4” audio 
> tape proved very promising. We are now expanding our investigation to 
> include video tape and your help in locating unopened video tape stock is 
> critical. We are soliciting donations of unused 3/4 inch U-matic and 1 inch 
> video tape.

> Because of ease of confusion of boxes, hubs, reels and tapes after opening, 
> only unopened or sealed tapes are useful.  The grant can cover shipping 
> costs. If you are interested in helping but want the tapes returned to you, 
> we can accommodate this. Otherwise, we will keep them as part of our test 
> collection.

> If you are interested in supporting this research with the donation of 
> unopened video tapes please email me, John Quirk, at USC’s Moving Image 
> Research Collections to let us know what formats, makes and models you have.
