Abstract

At first, microforms and the Fine Arts did not appear to be very compatible. Today with improvements of microform readers and technology together with the proliferation of types of materials which are published in microform, their acceptance is assured. Journals, series of out-of-print books, exhibition catalogues, photographs and other archival collections are now appearing in ever increasing numbers and are being accepted by those interested in both the acquisitions and research in Fine Arts. Librarians must constantly demand acceptable quality, complete bibliographic control and also begin to plan for regional and international co-operation so that those libraries unable to purchase the expensive sets may share in the increasing wealth of information and not be left without some form of access.
