Microfilm is, as the name sounds, rolls of film while microfiche are flat, individual sheets of film. While microfilm is primarily reserved for journals and newspapers, microfiche is primarily used for government documents and college catalogues. The books are located on the stacks floors, 3-6 and are shelved in call number order beginning with the A's on the third floor and working up to the theses on the sixth floor. These have the same call number as the single, unbound issues that are found in the Periodicals Department. In most cases, these can be checked out for three days at a time.
Microformed journals have the same call number as the single, unbound issues.
Their location differs from bound journals in that they are kept in the Periodicals Department on the microform shelves. All of the copiers in the Periodicals Department are set up to take both cash and the copycard. Copies using the copycard cost 6 cents per page, those made with straight cash cost 10 cents per page. There are copycard dispensers in the Reserve Department, The Duplication Department and next to the main Circulation desk that can be used to add money to your copycard. Additionally, money can be added to a copycard at most of the copiers in the building.
