Hi, Jessica. Did you check to make sure the journal is not a companion title, that is a journal that comes in a package with one or more other journals? Sometimes the packages change up from year to year without really telling us. If you have the urge to do a good dead, you could always offer it up to other libraries on a back issue listserv, like BACKSERV and BACKMED.
Sincerely,

Subject: [SERIALST] Print journals arriving that we don't subscribe to
All,
Lately, my institution has been receiving print issues of journals we don't subscribe to. Does this happen at any of your libraries very often? If so, what do you do with them? My inclination is to just recycle them, but I'm wondering if anyone takes the time to send them back to the publisher instead.
Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
