What is microfilm?

Microfilm is a 35 mm film with microscopic photographs of pages of books, newspapers, documents, etc., to allow compact storage. A special reader which enlarges the print is necessary to read the film.

Microform is the general, catch-all term for:

• Microfilm: rolls of film 16mm or 35mm wide.
• Microfiche: 3x5 or 4x6 inch sheets of film
• Microcassette: microfilm tapes on cartridges
• Microcard: miniaturized text printed on an opaque paper card. It is also called Evans fiche.

Where can I read or view microfilm?

The Microform area of the 6th floor at SFU Burnaby's W.A.C. Bennett Library has a reader/scanner which will make digital copies of film and fiche.

SFU Vancouver's Belzberg Library has microform reader for students and staff to use with microforms requested from SFU Burnaby. To request delivery of microforms to Belzberg Library, click the "Interlibrary Loans" button next to Get It on the catalogue record for the item you seek and enter your information.

SFU Surrey's Fraser Library does not have a microform collection or microform reader/printer.

However, there are practical limitations on this policy and unfortunately they may inconvenience some users who would like to use these parts of the collection.
