MEDIA
EXCHANGE COMMITMENT
However, should any of our titles be subsequently published in electronic
or digital media, Mindata undertakes to accept return of microform editions
for credit towards editions in the new medium.
CAPTIONS
Identification of individual images can present a problem to microform
users; all Mindata pictorial monochrome microfiche include caption or
reference details on each frame. Typical of the information given is:
name of artist, title and description of work, dimensions, museum or gallery
reference number, negative number. Mindata microfilm images include frame
reference numbers keyed to printed indexes.
INDEXES
Where appropriate, a printed index and table of contents is provided with
each microform collection. Artist indexes are in alphabetical order while
the decorative arts are usually filmed in chronological order by type
of object, grouped separately by country. Buildings and monuments are
indexed topographically.
PRESENTATION
Microfiche have an eye-legible title strip with sequential numbering,
and eye-legible title frames. Many microfiche collections are presented
in A4 library ring binders, with fiche in slotted panels. This makes
for convenience in use and in locating and replacing individual fiche.
Where binders are not provided, fiche are supplied in individual acid-free
