Reformatting

The reformatting unit coordinates the selection and reformatting (microfilming, preservation photocopying, film and video conversion) of endangered and deteriorating materials.

Primary Responsibilities

• Coordinating selection of materials for reformatting with subject librarians
• Preparing materials to be sent to reformatting facilities
• Advising subject librarians regarding the most appropriate format for materials.

The Preservation Office does not currently digitize material in the reformatting program.
