What are the disadvantages of microfilming?

Microfilming has several disadvantages, including the potential for degradation over time, making it necessary to store and handle films carefully to prevent damage. The process can also be time-consuming and costly, requiring specialized equipment and trained personnel. Additionally, accessing information stored on microfilm can be less convenient than digital formats, as it requires specific readers and can be cumbersome to search through. Furthermore, microfilm lacks the interactive features and ease of sharing that digital formats provide.
