An old microfiche/film reader in front of a black curtain.

Public computers are currently down at the Main Branch. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The microfiche reader plods on, as per usual. Can we interest you in a very old newspaper, an obscure government document, or an out-of-print genealogy book?

Yesterday, I dodged the gloom and the unrest, found my way to the #MitchellLibrary, and dug in to a few volumes of emigration registers and a few microfiche slides. I was on the hunt for the name "Chambers".

I love the idea of #microfiche trending :)

up and to the right:

a cartoon character in a suit and tie stands in front of a city Alt: GIF featuring the animated character Principal Seymour Skinner from The Simpsons. At the bottom of the screen are the captions "Am I out of touch?” “No, it's the children who are wrong."

I feel very old today, after having to explain what #microfiche was to other teachers in my MEd program.

Ruined a great joke/commentary.

Somehow half my Discover page is about libraries. I’m not mad about it. It’s just … surprising #microfiche

Ich arbeitete 1980 bei der Telefon-Auskunft, wir hatten nur #Microfiche

Not comfortable with the false equivalence, but yes.

That being said I loved using #microfiche, catalogue drawers and the Dewey decimal system.

Reaching the stage of my life where I am shown every day that I am relatively old. Today at the @UoDHealthSci #PhDCoffeeMorning we came to how things used to be:
hardcopies of papers, queuing to copy materials & #Microfiche.

You don't know what that is???

I’m hype (read: scurred) to share my keynote at the #AlaskaLibraryAssociation tomorrow.

You can still sign up & check it out. I’m talking the truth: Harlequin romance novels, late fee shame & the glorious bounty of the #Microfiche.

Saturday!
