We still have the microfilm because our online access is through aggregators such as Academic Search Premier and Lexus Nexus.  We do not like to rely on aggregators continuing with a title.

We also cancelled the microfilm several years ago (we still have them, tho) and rely on the online service.

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,
