Our AD for services is interested in expanding our small collection of
foreign language newspapers and newsletters for specific groups in our diverse
student body (ie - "hometown news" from
India, Pakistan, and the Near East, Far East, and Africa, generally.)
We do subscribe to a few newspapers from China, Taiwan, and Korea, and
receive the local Chinese language newspaper as a gift.
The budget being what it is, we would like to identify sources for gift
subscriptions, since we've had to cut such titles as India today and West
Africa.

Along with suggested titles, please offer comments on how you manage
such a collection - is it integrated with other periodicals? fully
cataloged? easily accessible? do you claim? have you had problems with
vandalism/theft/mutilation? Anything else you think worth sharing?

Many thanks - please reply to me directly.
