History of Science and Technology 

Many collections of material in microform contain tons of content; for example, one little box of microfiche can contain the text of thousands of complete books.

The good news is that many microform sets are cataloged, meaning that every one of the thousands of documents or books can be found individually in the library's catalog. So, for example, if you find a reference somewhere to an item that you want to read, you should look up the item's title in the catalog to see whether it's there.

As of 12/2008, here are the sets whose every individual title can be found in the catalog, and how many titles are in each set:
