Term
Microform
Definition (draft AACR3 where given, or
AACR2)
A generic term for any medium,
transparent or opaque, bearing
microimages. See also Macroform.
Comments
ALA: To parallel “macroform”, we
recommend that the entry for
microform mention the need for some
magnification device to allow such
images to be eye-readable.
Micrographic ALA: ALA recommends that the term
“microform” be used instead of
“micrographic.” However, if the term
“micrographic” is retained, it needs to
be defined in the glossary to
distinguish it from the term
“microform.”

ALA: The footnote now in C1.5B2.2.3
and the glossary definition don’t
match exactly, although both were
lifted straight from AACR2 (so this is a
long-standing difference):
footnote for miniature score: “Use for
scores reduced in size and not
intended primarily for performance.”
