Abstract: Guidance information on the charateristics, location, acquisition, care, storage, and uses of microforms (i.e., microfilm, microfiche, ultrafiche, micro-opaques, etc.) is provided to assist teachers, librarians, and media specialists in integrating microform technology into their instructional strategies. Specific attention is given to the availability of information in microform, the utilization of microform and its associated equipment in an educational environment, and an evaluation of this information technology. Each of the topics covered is designed to be self-contained. A glossary, a bibliography of micrographic instructional materials, and ancillary listings of microform equipment, software suppliers, and microform publishers are appended. (wz).
