Hello Robin,

In the distant past I found some librarians on the Backmed listserv who were interested in our old microfiche, but unfortunately, that is no longer the case.

The last few years, I brought our old microfiche to an art teacher at our local high school. He was always happy to get different kinds of materials for his students to experiment with. He showed me some of the art work his students created, one was a hanging mobile that used microfiche, one student had actually made a vest and an umbrella out of microfiche, and others incorporated them into collages.

Good luck,

Hella

Hi, Robin.

We have been weeding our microforms, and unfortunately, our only option has been to toss them in the trash. And I have no choice but to weed them pending an extensive renovation. Our recycling center does not want them and all other entities we were able to find we would have to pay to ship them to. If you find out about another option, please let the list know.

Sincerely,

Barbara M. Pope, MALS

Hello,

Do you have experience with a major weed of bound periodicals and microfiche? Where did you send your material? Would you be willing to share with me how your process worked for you?

Thank you,

Robin
