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?
Is Backserv still operating? The sign-up page still appears
at
http://www.lists.us.swets.com/mailman/listinfo/backserv.
And it used to be possible to post to the listserv without even
signing up, just by sending your list of available issues to
backserv@nalist1.swets.com
, along with any requirements
for responses, mailing, or reimbursement.
But I haven't used it in ages, so I don't know if it's in business.
