We finally canceled microfilm
this year, using the money earmarked for the microfilm payment to pay the
annual fee for the ProQuest historical newspaper online version.

Subject: [SERIALST] New York Times on Microfilm
I would appreciate feedback about New York Times current
microfilm subscription to see if libraries are continuing with this, and if
not, what alternatives they are relying on for coverage.
I found a discussion thread relating to the question going
back a few years in the listserv archive, but two years seems an eternity given
changing patterns of use.
Thanks much,
