This happens to us all the time. I just recycle them unless the issue has someone else’s name on it. I’ve tried contacting publishers before and I never get
an answer and it’s not worth my time to pursue further. A lot of times they want you to order the publication by sending teaser issues. We aren’t losing money on it, so I let the publishers do their thing. Sometimes they are interesting and relevant to
majors at our school so I put them on our “free” table or just take them home and read them myself.

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!
