The following loan types are available:• Extended Microfiche Loan:

No return date.• Short-term Microfilm Loan:

The 90 days start once the film is marked as “shipped.” You will recieve an email when the film is available at the center. If you do not renew the loan, the microfilm is returned after the 90 days. (At some time in the future, short-term loans will no longer be available.)
