Many times alumni are more than happy to give gift subscriptions; there may also be faculty-staff people who will pass their personal copies of titles along to you after they're done with them.

Just one more note to add about the 'free of charge' subscriptions. Usually, when there is a questionnaire involved for a free subscription it doesn't necessarily mean that you will definitely receive it complimentary. This means they will see if you will be able to qualify for a free subscription. Of course, you'll only know if you qualify when you receive your first issue. If you would like, I can email you a list of the free subscriptions that we in our collection (about 30 free titles). Please let me know. Jessica Klaus Onsite Account Executive Pfizer, Inc.

Also we receive quite a number of "local" California publications, so you may want to check with state agencies, organizations like Rotary, etc., depending on the clientele of your library. There are many free serials--but we'd need to know what areas of interest might be.

I have not actually seen a copy yet (as I just sent for it yesterday), but you might look at their website http://www.profsurv.com The website shows that it is $12 but the Complimentary Subscription form that I received had a question: Do you wish to receive Professional Surveyor Magazine Free of Charge (and of course I answered yes). Also had a small questionare to fill out. Marla K. Roberson Assistant Director - Library Services OSU-Oklahoma City 900 N.

My materials budget is almost non existent, so I am wondering if any of you know of free magazines that I could take for my library. Are there currently many (any?!) serials that are offered free to libraries? I'm not sure which resources to use to look for possible free serials, so those kinds of tips would be welcomed. Any information you may provide would be enormously helpful! Cheers, Todd M. Grooten
