A Student Looking at the Microfiche index in the Library (Updated two months ago)

You can view this bundle in the SFSU Over the Years collection area.

A student consults the microfiche index in the old J. Paul Leonard Library at San Francisco State University. Holding a pencil and notebook, she flips through the indexed panels to locate articles or reference entries. The scene reflects the pre-digital research process, when microfiche and printed indexes were essential tools for academic study.
