Patrons should fill out the requests as they normally would, but add the word “microfilm” in the volume/box/folder/item field.
- If the microfilm is at HD, follow the instructions above to find the Houghton microfilm number and the HD microfilm number.
- Send an email to Imaging Services with the Call Number, HOLLIS number and microfilm numbers and ask them to pull them for you.
- When you receive the microfilm, ask the Lab to do a frame count. You will need this to write the invoice
- To write the order determine which product is needed:
a. $0.28 per image grayscale
b. $0.15 per image bitonal
(Mostly everything at Houghton will require grayscale. Bitonal is only useful for plain printed text with no illustrations.) - Select the appropriate product and fill in the number of frames (received from the lab). The minimum for microfilm digitization is $150. If the frames do not add up to $150, you must enter $150.
- Delivery will be by Catalog Link.
When emailing the patron, let them know that the processing time will be 6-8 weeks
