We participate in Backmed, and then if there are things left, we send them to Ebsco’s missing copy bank.  We also send things to Absolute Backorders Service, which then allows us a discount when we need to purchase a needed issue we couldn’t get elsewhere.

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
