The Use of Microfiches for Scientific and Technical Reports:Considerations for the Small User,

摘要

The report is intended primarily for the small user concerned with the use of microfiches for scientific and technical report material. In the context of the report the small user is considered to be the individual engineer or project worker or,at most,the small company,department or project team handling microfiches on a modest scale. While emphasis has been placed on the use of microfiches -their reading,duplication,print out and storage -some general information has also been included on the production of microfiches. The report has been confined to the type of microfiche containing 60or 98frames (now referred to as 'medium reduction microfiches') used for the reproduction of individual reports. Medium reduction microfiches are also widely used for reproducing journals and periodicals on an issue-by-issue basis,for individual articles,monographs or papers and,less exclusively,for parts lists and maintenance manuals. Parts of the report will,therefore,be found broadly relevant to these other applications.
