I’d weed them. You will waste time and money trying to deal with the things. The information on them is more than likely online or available through ILL in
a more user friendly format….

Subject: [SERIALST] microcards
Hello, everyone. We have some of our serials on microcards, and in some cases, that is the only access we have to a title at all. We do have a microcard reader, but it is very
old (pre computer) and so patrons cannot make copies of pages. I also tried scanning a page with our scanner to see if that would work, but to no avail. My question is other than a patron being able to view a patron with a microcard reader, have any of you
figured out a workable solution with microcards to make them more useful to patrons? This question came up because we are reviewing some of our collections for potential weeding and we need to keep some of the ones on microcard. They cannot be read on a
regular microform reader because they are opague, not transparent. Just to be clear, I am talking about microcards, not microfiche or microfilm. See the image at
http://www.lib.uwo.ca/weldon/dbwmicrofichecopiersandreaders.html for more detail of what I am talking about.
Sincerely,
Barbara M. Pope, MALS
