Hi,
Your local high school art teacher might want the fiche to teach the kids about intaglio printing. You clean the films off, scratch designs into them with a
pin, cover with ink, wipe off excess, insert into a press or use a brayer.
Doesn’t mean they won’t end up in the landfill eventually, though.

The same companies that recycle the film from your local hospital will also recycle microform. I've heard that some hospitals will let libraries throw in their microform (ours was unable
to do this), but even if they won't take it, they can give you the name of the recycling company.
I hate to fill landfills with it!

Hi,
Does anyone have any ideas of what to do with JSTOR microfilm and microfiche that has been weeded besides recycling it?
Is there anyone on earth who would want it? :)

Thanks for posting this, Diane. That is definitely something to consider. I hate getting rid of volumes in good condition
and being able to do nothing but recycle them. I did click on that link, but when I click on "missing issue spreadseheet", it does not go anywhere.

Subject: [SERIALST] JSTOR Weeding - check the missing issue lists from JSTOR
Hi,
One thing I wanted to throw in while we’re discussing JSTOR weeding is that it would be very nice if you can take the time to identify any issues you may have (that you’re about
to discard) that JSTOR could use to fill in their gaps. This is something I’ve been doing in the last few rounds of our weeding and we did ship a few volumes to JSTOR. Yes it’s on your time and your library’s dime, but if a lot of us contribute to the cause,
we’re all helping each other out.
