Abstract

Microforms in today's academic libraries appear to be understaffed and left behind in the electronic age. At best, microform collections experience benign neglect. At worst, administrators view microforms as an obsolete format that has little merit in today's digital world. Despite the fact that microform collections in many academic libraries represent a large financial investment, staffing is almost entirely by paraprofessionals and students. In some of the largest libraries, service for microform collections consists of machine help only.
