We would want to purchase 1940 census film.  Budget permitting, of course.

I have also found the answers to this question interesting,  
particularly those that mentioned microfilm. Are you still purchasing  
locally-relevant microfilm? Even if the related records are currently  
digitally available?

When the 1940 census is released in 2012 would you/your library want  
to purchase one or more microfilm rolls for geographic areas that  
fall within the scope of your collection?  Or will you rely on online  
digital access from whomever may provide it?
