ABSTRACT
The use of microforms in libraries has grown over the past ten years, and microform will continue to be an appropriate medium for preserving certain types of materials. The future use of microforms is clouded by the potential storage capabilities of the new disc technologies. Yet noteworthy advances have been made in the bibliographic control of microforms and in the quality of readers and printers available. A review of the recent literature traces the changes in microform use and technology and the increased emphasis on educating users to the benefits of microforms.
