Until recently, micropublications have had only limited application in law libraries. This state of affairs is changing, however, as law libraries are faced with rapidly increasing costs of books, limitations on space available to expand collections, and finally, because of the new technological advances in microform equipment itself. My personal interest in microforms has been spurred by a number of factors, chief among them being the recent traumatic experience of seeing a large library collection destroyed by fire. When faced with sorting several hundred pamphlets which were salvaged from the flames and arranging them in their original order, knowing that a good many were missing, the blessed alternative of microforms became readily apparent. The advantages of microforms have been debated endlessly, often with more emotion than wisdom. The purpose of this paper is to explore their application and the problems which micropublications engender in a Law Library.
