SEC:?dumping microfiche because of online resources

["S. Hamer" <hamer@MEOL.MASS.EDU>]

We have some backfiles of a few journal titles on microfiche. We have a
few old readers and one barely working monster microfiche reader/printer.
We hardly ever use any of it.

We have access on our network to Infotrac, Encyclopedia Americana and
will have SIrS as soon as we can get it to work. We have Searchbank
through the internet.

I want to get rid of all the microforms. Has anyone else done that?
I feel funny getting rid of a whole category of information but I think
it is outdated, superceded and takes up too much room.
