In checking some of our holdings against the Internet Archive, I noticed quite a few books on microfilm. To be honest, the download time was so long I gave up actually looking at these "scanned" microfilm products. However, it got me thinking about large microform sets in art history. Hitchcock's American Architectural Books...published before 185 and its supplement, Park's List...1700-1775, came to mind. I did a small spot check and found a few books, not from microfilm, in the Archive. Wouldn't it be a boon to have all the books in those lists available online via Internet Archive or Open Content Alliance scanned from either the print or microfilm? (Actually, I don't know why the microfilm isn't subject to copyright.) The microfilm sets are so disliked! Maybe someone already has begun working on such a project? BTW, are you adding online links to your catalog print book records when a book is available both in print in your library and online for free? I don't know how titles available in IA, OCA, etc. can be made more accessible to an institution's users. Of course, there is also the matter of subject access! Ruth S.
