The use of microfiche is limited because user requirements and standards are poorly defined. Problem areas include: film polarity, reduction and blowback ratios, equipment design, identification and numbering, content arrangement, application areas, and competitive media. The evidence is in conflict as to what is acceptable to the user. This evidence is discussed, key references are cited, and problem areas are defined for human factors and systems-engineering-oriented practitioners interested in applying their knowledge and skills to the design of microfiche systems.
