After ascertaining it really is addressed to us, we put such issues out for offers.  If it is a new publication, related to or following something to which we subscribe, (ACM Interactions was the most recent) I give it to our Acquisitions Librarian for consideration.

I cannot remember the last time she decided to add a print subscription.

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
