    Area of Science:

    • Information Science
    • Archival Science
    • Management Information Systems

    Background:

    • Increasing demand for computer data output for management.
    • Need for cost-effective data storage and retrieval solutions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the operational and financial aspects of the first computer-output microfiche installation in Illinois.
    • To evaluate the economic benefits of micrographics in managing large data volumes.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparison of fiscal 1981 operational costs and output with historical data.
    • Analysis of monthly report forms for source document microfilming, photographic processing, and laboratory services.
    • Development of cost per microfiche copy and per original silver negative.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstration of cost savings through micrographics implementation.
    • Quantification of operational costs associated with microfiche production.
    • Exploration of the distinction between "savings" and "cost avoidance" in this context.

    Conclusions:

    • Micrographics offers significant economic advantages for managing increasing computer data output.
    • Detailed operational cost analysis is crucial for understanding the true financial impact of microfiche systems.
    • The study provides a framework for evaluating the financial benefits of archival data management technologies.
