UMI-History in the making

UMI is a gateway for the flow of information from the fields of business, education, engineering, social science, and the popular media. The company's staff collects, creates, and preserves information. Then they make it available in print and microform as well as online, on CD-ROM, and on magnetic tape. They also develop integrated information delivery systems-diverse technologies working together to help libraries increase responsiveness, control costs, and deliver the type of information they and their patrons need-when they need it.
