[Genealib] Microfilm

[Phyllis Rickard]

I'm behind in reading my mail, so just saw this thread. 

I have had patrons come in who have a list of the microfilm they want. They have located it in a library or depository someplace. That library or depository has told them to go to their local library to have us borrow it. I then check into what is required and make arrangements to borrow it.

  Perhaps, it was the American Genealogical Lending Library (AGLL) that the person was thinking of.   It no longer exists but it would lend microfilm to Libraries or Individuals who had a membership.    They had all the censuses, most NARA films, as well as filmed books.

    Mid-Continent Library will loan microfilm in the state of Missouri only.  We always go through a library's interlibrary loan department.  We will not loan directly if a patron calls.

    It sounds like you are describing the Mid-Continent Public Library, which does InterLibraryLoan genealogy books; I am not so sure about microfilm, having never used it.

    Is it true that one of the genealogical libraries in the Midwest will send microfilm directly to a library if a patron requests this service? The patron doesn't go through ILL for it - he/she knows the particular information for the microfilm, contacts the particular genealogical library to send it to the patron's library, and the patron pays the sending library the amount required to send the film to the patron's library.

    Has anyone heard of this service?

    Thanks,
