Microfilm is a process that reduces images down to a size so that they can't be read without a reader. A microfiche is a card made of transparent film used to store printed information in miniaturized form. These are two ways to retain information and to save space prior to the development of digital images.
Tech Services and Special Collections both have microfilm/microfiche, so please ask a librarian for help.
If you have never used microfilm or microfiche before, please seek help from a librarian or a Reference student worker. To find the microfilm/microfiche collection, go down the stairs across from the Circulation Desk. The microfilm/microfiche collection is housed in the Technical Services office except for the Berea Citizen, which is housed in the Special Collections Reading Room. The microfilm/microfiche reader machine is located in the Special Collections Reading Room and available for use during Reading Room hours.
