-**Microfilm Acquisition Policy**

-5/27/2017 
- 
-Libraries have developed and provided access to microfilm collections since the early 20th century. Microfilm is a medium with a long shelf life that libraries can use for preserving the scholarly record. With the introduction of digital resources and the conversion of continuing resources to online formats, many libraries have reduced or eliminated their collecting of microform materials. ​ 
- 
-As an ARL library, and in support of our status as the flagship campus of the University of Massachusetts,​ it is necessary that we continue to collect microfilm in a mindful and sustainable way.
