Storing Microfilm.... Buddy Pennington 03 Feb 2000 17:45 UTC

Hi all,

Our library has always shelved the microfilm with the bound volumes for our
journals.  We have been toying with the idea of moving these to drawer units
to free up shelf space for the bound journals.  We counted and we have 4,500
microfilm boxes.  Going with UMI drawer units (which hold 800 reels) would
mean 6 drawers should cover us.  This means we are looking at $6,630.

I was wondering if you hade any ideas about doing this in a more economic
manner.  Of if there is any way to purchase used drawers?
