More on Microfilm
Libraries generally do not allow microfilm to circulate
Many will only lend if they have a 2nd copy of the microfilm
Don’t have a reader or printer? Max number of reels will vary- usually
does not exceed 4 at a time LOC has limited holdings on some titles
(even though it make look like they own the entire run)
Sometimes we just can not get microfilm
