Hi,
Perhaps the Music Listserv might
allow a small list or recommend a place. We use Absolute Backorder like we use
USBE. You have to query in advance to see if they want the issues. I give them
a list with an inventory. They are usually quick to reply (2-5 days). You can
set up an account to contribute and not pay a fee up front for the service.
That beats USBE, and they also have an online list of availability which is
better than USBE. Reward for giving is payment of only $10 per issue for all
listed online issues you may want some day.

Subject: [SERIALST] What to do with weeded JSTOR volumes?
Hi all,
We are gearing up to weed several journal runs from our
music periodicals collection and I am trying to figure out what we should do
with the weeded volumes. I don’t want to spend a lot of time trying to
find a new home for these, but I feel like we should make some effort to avoid
throwing them in a dumpster. I can offer them to other academic libraries in
Missouri through a consortial email list but was wondering what a second step
might be if we didn’t have many takers.
Does anyone know of any companies that would be willing to
take this and give or sell them to libraries in need? I know the USBE
program is not taking JSTOR holdings. We use Better World Books for our weeded
monographs, but they won’t take journals. Can anyone recommend a
similar company that we could use?
