I just keep them in my office for a period of time, say, one year, in
alphabetical order. If in the future, we need to subscribe these titles,
we may need the issues from the beginning (if they are new titles). And
each semester, we will send these with duplicates back to our journal
vender, Ebsco, for the missing bank. Ebsco will reimburse us postage
fees.

I would also be very interested in any responses as well.  We're
struggling with the same "issue" over here at Duke.

Subject
[SERIALST] Handling of Sample Issues

Colleagues
We are looking to simplify or eliminate the steps related to sample
issues that arrive unsolicited in our department.  So, I would be
very interested to know how other --especially large research--libraries

handle this issue.
Thank you in advance for your perspectives.
Sincerely,
Janet
