Hi

I have been asked to find out what policies other libraries have about
accepting runs of older journals from individuals. We have a policy of not
accepting donations of current journal issues from individuals who have
personal subscriptions. However, we do accept older journals which would
otherwise be thrown out. What do other libraries do? Do those libraries
who do accept donations of older material have a cut-off point - say
material older than a year? Five years? Thank-you for any guidance that
you can give.
