Newspapers on Microform

The Libraries' collection of newspapers on microfilm is maintained primarily for historical research (check the library catalog by title to determine if the library owns the newspaper you wish to use). Microfilm is located in the Calabasas facility and must be requested through the InterLibrary Loan Dept. A microfilm/microfiche reader is located in the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE). This reader digitizes the microfilm/microfiche which can then be saved to a flash drive.
