Microforms in Information Handling.
Williams, B. J. S.
In an attempt to identify some of the factors which influence the utility of microforms as a medium for information handling, this report first traces some of the landmarks in the evolution of microforms since their invention in 1893. It next provides a factual account of current microform media and formats. The last section of the report contains discussions of the advantages and disadvantages of microforms, user resistance and reading equipment, bibliographic factors and format selection, and copyrights.
