Q. What is a microform?
Answer
Microforms are scaled-down reproductions of documents, journal issues, monographs, or schemata made for the purposes of transmission, storage, reading, printing, and scanning.
Reading, printing, and scanning microforms requires a special reader (or software). Readers and software are available at select ASU Library locations.
ASU Library owns microforms in the following formats:
- microfilm ( film reels)
- microfiche (film sheets)
- micro-opaque (stock cards)
