Microfilm reels that are not in the basement

Several Microfilm titles have reels that are not available in the basement.  The Newspaper guide has a notation by each title:

• Carolinian (Not available at this time, being copied)
• Greensboro Daily News (Ask at reference desk for dates between 1924-1970)
  These reels are in the front reference office, undergoing testing or have been determined that they are infected with Vinegar Syndrome.  Check with Michael if possible or check the spreadsheet on the Q drive at REF/Microforms/Vinegar Syndrome Microfilm.xls.

Vinegar Syndrome

If you find any microfilm that smells like vinegar or has curled edges, do not use it and do not return it to the microfilm cabinets. Bring the film to me or leave it on my desk.

Vinegar Syndrome is a breakdown of acetate film that was used from 1923 into the 1970's. It will eventuality lead to the total destruction of the film.

The library is currently in the process of assessing the problem, but in the mean time, please let me know of any films you find with this problem.
