You don't have to make any sort of list of the donated titles. I think they take issues that are not more than 2-3 years old. Just put them in a box and send them off.

Some libraries on the lists say they don't need any reimbursement.  Some libraries ask for postage reimbursement in the form of stamps, but even if you reimburse full cost, it is a lot less than buying the issue.  Altogether, these lists create a lot of traffic in an email account, so I set up a separate email account on gmail.  Of course I can access it, but mostly I have a student go through and look for issues that we need.
