Libraries grant leads to more online access

A $53,000 grant from the Hoblitzelle Foundation has secured Texas Tech University Libraries equipment that will lead to greater online access for researchers.

With the Mekel Mach IIIQ scanner, researchers will have online access to thousands of microfilm rolls, without having to visit the library, according to a Tech news release. The microfilm includes rare newspapers and specialized information.

Researchers will be able to search online for words and go directly to the results they want, according to the release.

The purchase expands upon resources in development for the past eight years, the release said. Until now, the collection mostly comprised books, including theses and dissertations.

The microfilm will be used less, allowing the Southwest Collection and Special Collections Library to preserve it for the long term.
