I have a similar note-taking system, where I scribble lots of incoherent things right on the relevant pages. I hope there's some way to scan microfilm into pdf. “How am I supposed to take notes?” was my second question, right after “where can I find a microfilm reader?” I have a similar note-taking system, where I scribble lots of incoherent things right on the relevant pages.

I too am totally weirded out by such dark-age technology. My list of refs I need to look at for my lit review includes four books that the library only has on microfilm, and I am too chicken to try and view them. I have no idea where the library keeps its microfilm, nor where the readers are, nor how to work them should I find one. And I suspect that my usual system of note-taking (photocopy most relevant pages and make notes about everything else in the margins/on the back) is not going to cut it in the microfilm universe.
