We do have a microfilm reader; two in fact. One is a fairly new reader from about three years ago. It is fully digital with some great cropping and saving tools. Both readers print directly to our network printer as well as our copier. While we are a small library compared to other facilities, we do have a lot going for us across the board. We have some pretty amazing pieces of technology that help our digital projects along the way.
