Hello all,

I did not have any luck offering our old microfiche on Backmed, either, but I found a local high school art teacher who was happy to take them. He is always interested in exposing his students to different materials. They have made some interesting art projects out of them. One made a vest and an umbrella, one a cascading wall hanging, and another one incorporated microfiche in a drawing.

We checked with our facilities management director, actually gave him a card, and he tells us they are recyclable.

Hi, Jeanette. We also have some of these and have debated on what to do with them since no other libraries on the backissue lists seem to want them. If you get any good answers, please post. Thank you.

Does anyone know if old microcards are recyclable? We have quite a few to pull.
