Selling Microfilm & Bound Periodicals Henrietta Angus 21 Oct 2005 13:33 UTC

We're a medium sized academic library with 2 library locations.  I'm in
the midst of consolidating our periodical and microfilm collections.
We'll have a large quantity of microfilm and bound peridicals to dispose
of shortly. I'm talking about 30 to 40 years of bound periodicals and runs
of microfilm like the NYTimes back to 1900.  I know there was some
discussion about Alper's demise but is there anyone else out there for
microfilm?  Does Zubal and Jaeger still purchase back runs of bound
periodicals.  Any help pointing me in the right direction would be most
appreciated.  The thoughts of filling up a landfill give me the chills.
