+ | ===== **Microforms Cataloging History: ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | All microforms are now cataloged to the W.E.B. Du Bois Library. Formerly, microforms were cataloged to th former three branch libraries: Music Library, Morrill Biologival Science Library, and thePhysical Sciences and Engineering Library. Former science microforms call numbers are prefaced by "S". For example Microfiche S221, which distinguishes it from Microfiche 211 (which was a Du Bois collection. This is an imprtant distinction to bear in mind when fooling for the microforms, as the "S" series has different cabinets. Music Library microforms have been incorporated into the Du Bois numbering scheme. | ||
