Subject: Re: Replacement costs for microforms (Angel Smith)

Hi-

        I've had success in replacing microforms simply by using UMI (now
a Bell & Howell Co.) - either phoning or checking their catalog for
prices.  I'm not sure that you can arrive at an "average price" for
replacement reels or fiche because the cost varies widely.

Regards,
Barb
