Having a stand alone system to search local newspapers on microfilm for research guests with excellent quality and ease of use was proven during our yearly season. Over 1750 visitors had access to the Microfilm reader if they were so inclined to use it. The results were due to an excellent choice of product, vendor, and vendor support for upgrades to the software as they became available.
