It’s not a person’s vocabulary and most people, at first glance, probably would be hard put to even pronounce it. Actually, a fiche is nothing more than a three-inch by five-inch film card that contains the equivalent of 1,000 pages of a book. It’s one of the more modern methods of visual assistance related to the saving of space and the Eugene Shedden Farley Library at Wilkes College recently acquired two such Microbook collections at a cost of $32,000. Providing a valuable assistance in the restoration of the library, which lost nearly $2- million in publications during the June flood, are collections of the Library of American Civilization, and the Library of English Literature: Part I. The microbook Library of American Civilization is a microfilm library of about 19,000 volumes: covering all aspects of American life ‘and literature from its beginnings to the outbreak of World War I. Assembled with the guidance of 52 college and university faculty members esteemed in the field of American studies, this new and valuable collection of their Helen Kishkill, Bridgette Shirley Osborne, is currently being used by more than 200 college and university libraries. The microbook ' Library of English Literature: Part 1 is a microform library of about 2,500 volumes covering all aspects of English Literature from its beginnings to the Restoration (1660). A single 3x%5 - inch film card, or fiche, contains each volume in the microbook library. Through the phenomenon of high reduction photography which reduces individual pages 55 to 90 times while maintaining high optical resolution, up to 1,000 pages can be reproduced on each fiche. The microbook collections have several advantages. Microbook titles are projected on a small protable “lap” reader or a desk for reading purposes, and the page itself is enlarged beyond its original size for purposes of ‘easier reading. Liike books; {ichei can tbe stored. retrieved. and . cir- culated. Indexing and catalogs accompany the libraries to provide immediate access to their contents.
