The Photostat-Microfilm War at the New York Public Library in the 1930s, the 1940s, and the 1950s.

Bourke, Thomas A.

Microform Review, v18 n3 p145-50 Sum 1989

Reviews the status of photostats and microfilm at the New York Public Library, including evaluations of the demand for each and the relationship between the two forms during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Reasons why the two forms continue to coexist--even though it was predicted that microfilm would replace photostats--are discussed. (24 references) (CLB)
