I bought 3x5 cards and some "notebook" style rings. Instead of a list of books I did a card for each book I wanted to look at using the correct citation form. Cards were grouped by family name, place name, subject or whatever. Punch a hole in the upper corner and thread a small ring through each group of cards.

It works perfect! You should have no problem with your mobile scanner doing microfilm off the microfilm's reader screen. I have a microfilm reader at home and everything works fine.Julie D Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829654823792898748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-69937148170064905042011-01-12T20:17:41.064-05:002011-01-12T20:17:41.064-05:00Thanks for the tips.

I've used them quite a bit and have several DVDs with copied data, they're terrific.<br /><br />I have not seen the book scanners so that is new to me.Olive Tree Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381110998759242462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-79662437965664369032011-01-12T11:34:00.161-05:002011-01-12T11:34:00.161-05:00The FHL now has microfilm and book scanners, so ev...The FHL now has microfilm and book scanners, so even if your flip scanner doesn't work well with the microfilm, you won't need to create paper copies. Also, be sure to check which FHL resources can be accessed digitally while you're at the FHL. They're identified in the library catalog and can save you many, many hours of searching microfilms and books.GeneGinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172142394579145655noreply@blogger.com
