We send them to our Librarians for a decision on whether they want to keep or toss. If they want to keep them, we also ask if they want to start an order for them.

UNH sends the unwanted issues to Ebsco Missing Copy Bank (our main vendor). A green way to help out other libraries!

Hi everyone,

I was wondering what you do when you receive a random magazine in the mail. We recently received a copy of Print magazine, a graphic design publication, that we don’t subscribe to. I have no clue where it came from.

Do you typically hold on to these types of things, pass them on to interested parties, or toss them?

Thanks so much!

Jaime Hammond
