We encourage all visitors to use the modern ViewScan machines directly connected to computers. Members of the Rice community may access the computers using their NetID. Other visitors may request a general microform username and password from Kelley Center staff (DMC if unavailable). The digitally-enabled microform scanners are free to use. If you have a preference for the older microform viewing machines, please be aware that they are only capable of displaying and printing microform contents and there is a small fee to use the printers.
