Law Library Microform Consortium Creating Virtual Library

According to the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, the non-profit Law Library Microform Consortium is creating a digital library, called LLMC-Digital, that will eventually comprise 91,000 volumes (100 million pages) of legal materials, half of which are currently available on microfiche. The beta site is currently available for free, but will become a fee-based service next month.

  • “The model chosen for data delivery on LLMC-Digital will combine three digital formats. The primary format will be TIFF images; i.e., electronic microfiche. Backup formats will be OCRed text, which will permit searching, and a PDF text (which permits transfer of text into word processing applications).
