"From the point of view of someone standing between rows of microfilm cabinets. A non-digital microfilm reader is visible at the left, a digital microfilm reader not in use is in the center. A woman wearing a dark blouse with larger grey flowers and with dark blond shoulder-length hair leans into the digital microfilm reader on the right as she studies a newspaper page displayed on the monitor. Behind a glass wall you can see the first shleving unit for the Library's extensive DVD collection"
