Hello Mary,
I have used some of the organizations on the following list:

s
As others mentioned, the problem is that you have to pay for the
shipping yourself most of the time, even if it is only within the US. In
the past we had people donate money for shipping. We once shipped
journals to India and I found out that the s-called M-bag option at the
post office is the cheapest to send printed materials overseas.

Anyone have any experience with organizations that facilitate donations
of journals to other libraries and want to share addresses?

I have a faculty member who's interested.

Thanks,

Mary
