There are six Minolta MS6000 microform reader workstations on Level 1. You can read and print from Microfilm and Microfiche at all of these workstations.

Two of these workstations are also configured to scan directly to a computer. You can save files at these two scanning workstations to floppy disk, USB drive, CD/DVD, or email (provided the file is not too big). Members of the Emory University Community can log into these two scanning workstations with their Emory Net ID and password. Visitors can log in using a User ID and password that is provided in the instruction guide at these workstations. You can also read a shortened version of this instruction guide here before coming into the Library.

Three of these workstations are also set up so that you can connect your own laptop to the microform readers, using a USB cable which we provide. To do this requires you to set up a few things in advance on your laptop, including installing a Minolta driver. In addition, you'll need some kind of scanware (such as Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop, etc.) that allows you to create PDFs. Please contact the Tech Support Desk for more information.

The Level 1 service desk is staffed by a Learning Commons student assistant. The Learning Commons student assistant on Level 2 may be available to help, as well.

Please refer to our Hours for Tech Support page for their hours of availability.

For assistance finding call numbers for microforms, please refer to the Reference staff at the Level 2 service desk. The Reference staff's hours of availability can be found at the Library Hours page.
