When Microform Review began 24 years ago, its focus was solely microforms. The journal published authoritative articles on themes still of interest today such as bibliographic control, equipment, staffing and support for microform reading-rooms, microfilming and micropublishing. In the past five years, Microform Review has increasingly dealt with the impact of new technology, especially imaging, on document preservation. Practical and theoretical aspects of digitalization are investigated in light of the latest developments in the field. Changes to the way information is processed and accessed for preservation purposes are discussed on an ongoing basis.
Every issue contains critical reviews of new microform and imaging projects.
These address both technical standards and content and editorial criteria, and are a valuable resource for making acquisition decisions. This journal is a must for the modern library dedicated to preservation and dissemination of knowledge. Contents Contents of Vol.
