Microfilm Goes Digital

30 Day Trial of a New Microfilm Reader/Scanner ends February 12, 2010

You may be surprised to hear that microfilm is alive and well, but anyone who has conducted historical research or obtained a dissertation via Interlibrary Loan knows that microfilm is still very much a reality. The good news is that microfilm technology has changed some, and the library is currently test-driving a digital microfilm machine. This machine allows the content of microfilm to be digitally scanned to be saved, emailed and/or printed to the library printers. We encourage you to stop by and take it for a spin.  Our trial of the machine ends February 12…please stop by the Library Services Desk before then and let us know you’d like to be introduced to the ST200X digital microfilm machine.
