Zusammenfassung:A survey was made of user reactions to microfiche, conducted at the request of COSATI, based on over 300 letters received from scientists, engineers, librarians and information specialists. Chapter titles are: Summary, conclusions and recommendations; Background; Department of Defense Libraries; Impact of DDC User Charges; Government Libraries; Industrial Libraries; University and non-profit libraries; Individuals and Microfiche (a) The Enthusiasts, (b) The Reluctant Converts, (c) The Agonistics; Fiche Quality and Format; and Microfiche Readers and Reader Printers. Most of the text is devoted to excerpts from the letters. Three alternative strategies are recommended for dealing with microfiche; ignore it and it will go away; drive it underground or, learn to live with it until something better comes along (as it probably will). The text abounds with examples of those who have managed to adopt the last of these strategies.
