Here's my old list that I used to send out to donors who had stuff we
didn't want. I have not updated it in a long time, so it may be
horribly out of date. There's nothing in your area, either. But,
what the heck, I'll throw it out there, what's the harm. SW

Journals in good condition (especially if they're current) can be
offered for sale. Take a look at what's listed at
http://macfadden.mit.edu:9500/colserv/gifts/dealers.html.
If you want to take the trouble to package up individual issues for
the libraries that need them and send a bunch of separate packages,
you can reach hundreds of libraries around the country -- and other
countries -- by sending a message to
<backmed@nalist1.swets.com>. (See
<http://lists.swetsblackwell.com/mailman/listinfo/backmed> for more
information.) Tell them what you've got. Word your message
carefully -- if you want reimbursement for shipping, say so; if you
want it in the form of a check, specify that too (a lot of those
libraries reimburse each other with postage stamps!). If you're not
willing to ship overseas, say so in your message. I used to
participate in this all the time, and it was a LOT of work, but very
satisfying to know that I was sending my unwanted journals to places
that really wanted them.
That's all I've got. SW
