After scanning, there are several ways to index your microfiche images. Some systems use sequential numbering or other basic numeric references, which can be captured along with each image. Many jackets include labels that can be extracted via OCR, while CAR jackets (Computer Aided Retrieval) use a unique grid-based reference number to identify positions within the jacket. This information can be added as metadata, allowing for quick, text-based search and retrieval of your files.
