A microform catalogue is a collection of bibliographic records for materials stored in microform format, such as microfilm or microfiche. These catalogues help users locate and access various documents that have been reproduced in a reduced-size format for preservation or space-saving purposes. Users can search for specific items using the catalogue's indexes and finding aids.
A microfilm reader is a device used to view and magnify microform documents, such as microfilm or microfiche. It typically consists of a light source, lens, and a film transport mechanism that allows users to view the contents of the microform at an enlarged size. Microfilm readers are commonly found in libraries, archives, and other institutions that store information on microform.

There are more advantages than disadvantages, but the most glaring disadvantage is that if the internet, or the servers, or the computers are down, you can't find specific books. Most libraries have a back-up card catalog, but it's tedious and usually requires the assistance of a library staff member. You can find general subject areas if you can refer to the call number scheme, but finding specific books is nearly impossible.
