"Library business is booming…Circulation has skyrocketed, up double-digits from the Bronx to Utah. And it isn’t just books..."
NBC Nightly News

This quote from NBC News underscores what every librarian already knows – more and more people are turning to libraries to take advantage of ALL their resources. But is your collection up to the task?

For instance, if you had a dollar for every time one of your patrons or researchers requested exactly the reel or fiche that you're missing, your budget might rival the Queen's. And gaps in your microform collection not only result in headaches for your staff, they can affect your library's reputation as a comprehensive resource.

So that’s why NAPC is making it even easier, and more budget-friendly, to "Mind the Gap" and replace the microform that's missing from your collection.

Fill the Gaps in Your Collection with UMI® Periodicals in Microform
In a special offer crafted especially for the ALA Midwinter Meeting, you can fill the gaps in your library's microform collection by purchasing two years of a periodical title and getting one year free. And this "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" deal applies not just to obscure titles, but to over 500 popular periodicals that your patrons and researchers use the most (and are thus more likely to be missing). Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, Vogue, and many more!
