Using Microforms materials
 

 Microforms materials (3rd floor) 

Microform is any photographic reproduction of any material in a size too small to be read without magnification. The microforms in OUC Library collection are microfilm and microfiche, which are located on the Legislative and Statistical materials room (3rd floor). (Microfilm is produced in long strips, like motion picture film, and comes in 35-millimeter sizes. Microfiche are transparencies that come in 105" x 148" sheets.)

Many of these items are catalogued and indicated in the OPAC or List of Microform titles.

A partial list includes:
Newspaper dating from the late Meiji era to early Showa era: Otaru Shimbun Hokkaido Shimbun and Asahi Shimbun (Tokyo ed.) etc.
Other materials
      ・Financial-rerated: American Banker (1980-94), securities report
      ・Historical: materials of Japan's colonial legacy
      ・Economic: GATT documents

Some materials are uncatalogued or require time to retrieve; users are advised to contact the Library beforehand to make sure that the microforms they require will be available.
