How can I look at microfilm resources?

Microform resources are located on the Library's 2nd floor, next to Current Periodicals. While not required, we recommend scheduling an appointment if you need help with microforms equipment.

  1. Under the Research section on the Library web page, select Make a Research Appointment.
  2. Use the Select Location drop-down menu to select Microforms.
  3. Under Select a Service, select Equipment Help (10 minutes) or Research Assistance (30 minutes).
  4. Choose a date for your appointment, then select the time. Click Continue.
  5. Enter your appointment details, including your name and email.
    • If you selected Equipment Help, please note if you need copies in print or pdf format.
    • If you selected Research Assistance, please note information about the resources you need, such as title, dates, subject, or call number.
  6. Select Confirm Appointment to finalize your appointment.

What Happens Next?
