Vicki,
We swear by Absolute (http://www.absolute-inc.com/_/). We send them shipments of items we don’t need for credit, and use their wonderful website
to fill gaps (either whole volumes, or single issues)

We used to sell some of our scholarly discards to PSC:

They turn around and sell them to folks looking to fill gaps.

We are trying to fill in gaps in our serials print holdings for titles not available online. Other than Backserv and contacting the publisher directly, are there other sources
we can use to purchase back issues?
