Located near the elevators on floor 2 of Hatcher North.
We provide access to current issues of hundreds of domestic and international print journals and periodical titles — including print newspapers — as well as an extensive collection of microfilms.
Request and view microforms
The majority of our microform collection is shelved at our offsite shelving facilities. If you know what you need, submit a microform delivery request and we’ll have it ready within 5 business days. We can also help you find the titles you’re looking for and place the request.
When your request is ready for viewing, we'll contact you with information about making a reservation to use the microform scanning equipment in our lab in the Hatcher Library.
Please direct questions about microform requests to sermicro@umich.edu.

Please contact sermicro@umich.edu with questions about making an appointment to use this equipment.
