MICROFORMS

Located on the second floor of the Library, the microforms collection consists of microfilm (rolls), microfiche (sheets) and microcards.

The microfilm collection covers many periodical titles and the Library's newspaper collection. Check the holdings information in CUNY+ to determine format for back issues of periodicals. The periodical microfilm is arranged alphabetically by title.

Other large microfilm collections are the Herstory I and II Sets, the Works of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, the History of Witchcraft in Europe and America, the Lincoln Center Theater Review Collection, and back issues of the campus newspapers.

The major microfiche collections in the Library are the Government Documents and the ERIC educational resources collection. ERIC materials are indexed on the Local Area Network by the ERIC database and are identified there with a unique ED number.

Microcards are an older format and can only be read, not copied. Major resources on microcard are the US Serial Set, Landmarks of Science, and colonial newspapers.
