Microform
The Library has a wide range of microfilm and microfiche resources, accessible in the microform reading area located on the ground floor, to the rear of the Assistive Technology area.
There are reader/printers that allow you to consult and print off images, as well as creating digital copies if required. Printed guides to collections are shelved at the end of the microfilm sequence. Microfiche is stored in drawer cabinets adjacent to the microform reader machines.
Staff at the Customer Services Desk will provide assistance with locating and using material in this area.
