“Microform” is the general term for documents reproduced in reduced size on transparent media such as microfilm (which comes in rolls) or microfiche (small sheets). Most sources you access as microforms will have originated as printed materials. Generally speaking, follow the directions for citing the original source, but add the information necessary to access the source on microfilm or microfiche. This may include a name for the microfilm service, volume number, year, and any letters or numbers identifying the specific film roll or fiche number.
