Microfilm-how to use?

Four more listings printed out today! Two Seattle [both 1995], two Washington DC [both 1994]. Will be added during either the weekend or next week.

Oh, and the scanners are Minolta MS6000s. There are two scanners, each with red buttons on the left and right to fast forward the film reel [and they are crazy loud for a whisper/silent type of place], and there's a computer that you can copy microfilm on.

The public library in Milwaukee has the Chicago-Milwaukee TV Guide on mirofilm from 1968 to 1995. Aldo, could you post Seattle weekday listings from June 1987, February 1988 and May 1989?
 
Next time I go to the library, I'll try to do that. I've got FOUR listings to do, two '94, two '95, plus a request for 12/31/99 [which will either be Seattle or Eugene, OR listings, not sure yet].

The Louisville Free Public Library's Main Branch (and several neighborhood branches) have TV Guide from the first editions for Kentucky and surrounding regional editions from the beginning in 1953 to the present, in original copies as well as on microfilm...I got to handle a copy of the first Philadelphia region runs of issue #1 (with Desi Arnaz, Jr. on the cover) they have in Special Collections!

The LFPL also has rartities such as complete microfilm records of Billboard, Cash Box, Record World, Jet, Ebony (with complete bound original issues from their beginnings in 1945 and 1951, respectively), and of course the Louisville Courier-Jourrnal and Louisville Times (from their predecessors in 1845, through the C-J's first edition in 1868 to the present-the C-J and Times were the licensees of legendary WHAS-AM/FM/TV from 1922 until 1986), along with the New York Times and other leading newspapers and magazines.
