List of Titles / Series Impacted by the Discontinuation of Microfiche Distribution to FDLP Libraries

For all impacted titles, volumes / publications “in the pipeline” when the contract ends will be processed by the microfiche vendor. Microfiche distribution will continue until all volumes / publications sent to the contractor for conversion have been distributed.

Libraries currently selecting microfiche formats of these publications will have the opportunity to add the paper formats to their item selections. Libraries should remember that microfiche distribution lags behind paper distribution, so adding paper items sooner will create smaller gaps in collections.
