The Microform Center is located on Level A in Bobst Library. The Center is designed for self-service access, with staff assistance available. Microforms do not circulate. Hundreds of printed pages can be condensed onto one microform. One roll can hold several periodical issues.
Periodicals are usually one microfiche sheet per issue.
Microprint and microcard is a reduced image printed on an opaque card. Some items, such as back issues of newspapers, copies of archival materials, or older materials like a facsimile of a 15th century monograph, are not available in any other form. Microforms have made many rare and primary materials readily available to a vast audience. Microform saves valuable space.
