<\/p>\nMicroforms are photographic reproductions of printed materials, in reduced size. In order to be read, they must be enlarged by a machine. Microform equipment includes Digital Microform Scanners, readers, and some manual fiche and film readers. Microform scanning on the Digital Microform Scanners is free.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Morris Library has more than 3,500,000 items in microfilm–open reels of film, microfiche–flat sheets of film, and microcard –flat, opaque sheets formats. There are over 700 newspapers and magazines, including
\nFrench, Russian, and British publications. ERIC documents, dissertations, government publications, historical papers, and other research materials are available for use in the Library. Listed below are some examples of microforms in the collection:<\/p>\n
If the information below does not answer your question about microforms at University of Delaware Library, please contact the Help Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n The majority of the Library\u2019s Microform collection is located in Room 008, labeled \u201cMicroforms\u201d on the Lower Level of the Library<\/a>. You will first need to search DELCAT for the call number of the material you are searching for.<\/p>\n Government Documents located on microfiche can also be found along the back wall closest to South College on the lower level.<\/p>\n The main collections of film and fiche are divided up into \u201cS\u201d and \u201cno.\u201d call numbers. \u201cS\u201d generally means serials collections and \u201cno.\u201d is for monographic or one-time-only collections. DELCAT will include the \u201cS\u201d or \u201cno.\u201d in the call number.<\/p>\n There are signs throughout the area to assist you in locating the material you need. Please ask at the Help Center on the First Floor of Morris Library<\/a> for assistance. Check to see when the Help Center is open<\/a> before seeking assistance.<\/p>\n First, pull the entire box of film or the entire fiche envelope (if there is one). Decide whether you would like to e-mail the image, save it to a USB flash drive, print a paper copy of the item, or simply read it. Printing from Microform reader printers located in the room where the Microforms collection is located costs 12\u00a2\/page. Scanning the document on the Digital Microform Scanners is free.<\/p>\n Staff will assist you with using any machine.<\/p>\n Please DO NOT REFILE THE MICROFORMS. Place them in a marked refile box or return them to the service desk.<\/p>\n Help Center staff<\/a> are able to help with basic questions related to the microforms collection.
