We've replaced the Lincoln Park Campus microfilm readers with two new digital readers that offer options for both scanning and printing to paper. The new machines are faster, easier to use, and produce higher quality images. So getting material like historic issues of the  New York Times and the DePaulia on microfilm or documents from the ERIC education database on microfiche will be a little more convenient.

Digital scans of microfilm can be cropped and edited and then saved to a flash drive or emailed as an attachment. Paper printouts will remain free of charge. The new readers can accommodate microfilm, microfiche and ultrafiche.

Microfilm might seem intimidating at first, but we'll help you get the hang of it! Library staff are available to help you find the microfilm you need, set up the machines, and make your copies or scans.

Other new equipment in the library includes color photocopy machines that double as scanners, which were highlighted in a summer blog post and are ready for use at both the Lincoln Park and Loop campuses.
