as an art bibliographer, policies of substituting microforms for print
copies mean that i can no longer tell whether art images are in color or
not. part of my nearly 30-year bibliographic project has been to identify
the print locations of works of art by african americans and indicating
whether they were in color. we now often have to see things on microfilm and
never know if the original image was in color or not.
