Please note that staff will be working at service points according to the regular schedule. Access to the rooms will be affected as follows:

During the renovation work, the self-service microfilm collection located outside the microform reading room will be accessible, and users will be able to take microforms to the temporary location.

Would it be too much to anticipate the renovations in the microfilm read will mean the replacement of ancient microfilm reader museum pieces.
Agreed John. The last time I was there it took a long time to even FIND a machine which worked properly. Even the staff were embarrassed by how bad it looks. But what can they do but shrug? Cheers, BT
ReplyDeleteI remember when someone put a date on the "Out of Order" notice on one of the microfiche readers. Eventually, as nothing was done to repair the reader, I submitted a suggestion that LAC host a party to celebrate the first anniversary of this event and that the press be invited. The next time I looked at the reader it had been repaired. I suspect that some of the readers date back to the building on Sussex Drive!
