Microforms
Microforms Room - north end of the first
floor
~ Microfilm in all ranges except the T
classification range
~ Microfiche in all Library of Congress ranges
Lower
level
~ Microfilm in the T classification range
Reader/printers for both film and fiche are available in the first
floor microform room only. If you have trouble using the machines,
ask for help at the Reference or Circulation desks.
What if the microform is not in the drawer or on the
shelf?
~Check the re-shelving boxes in the first floor microforms
room.
~Check at the Reference Desk to be certain of your information.
Finding microforms can be confusing due to the two different
locations. The Library catalog does not tell you which floor to
check. Please ask for help.
If you've done these two steps and still can't find it, stop at the
Circulation Desk and fill out a
Search Form. (We'll do the looking from this point on.)
Searches take between 1-5 working days.
What is the difference between microfilm and
microfiche?
Microfilm is in the shape of a roll of film. Microfiche is in
the shape of a 3" x 5" card. The readers in the microform room can
handle both formats.
If you have any questions about resources or services available to
the biomedical sciences community please contact Deb Werner, Biomedical Reference
Librarian or Christa
Modschiedler, Biomedical Bibliographer & Reference
Librarian. You may also email the Crerar Reference Staff.
