Microform Reader/Printers

Two reader/printers are located in the second floor Computer Room. One machine reads both film and fiche; one machine is only for film. Both machines allow printing from the image. The machine that reads both film and fiche also allows for saving images to a flash drive. No appointment is needed to use the readers. Printing copies costs 10 cents per page.
