Where did the microforms go?

Microform reader/printers on LG4

Now that you see the new Study Pods you might ask what happened to the microforms collection which used to be there?

Simple – we moved it down to LG4!

This took a long time and a lot of work. The carriages on LG4 had to be modified to handle the microform cabinets with their deep drawers, and then the existing compact shelving portion had to be dismantled and the floor fixed up for the pods.

One exciting moment was when the movers dropped a whole drawer of microfiche and it went everywhere! It took a few days, but Library staff eventually got it all cleaned up and reordered back in the drawer.
