Microforms in the Library Catalog
Most of the Library's microform materials can be found by searching the Library Catalog.
You can limit your search results by selecting "Microform" as a format.
When you locate microforms, you can request specific reels via our Paging & Pickup service.
Some Middle East Microforms are not listed in the Catalog but are searchable via other means. See Middle East Microforms for details.
