Policy about Old Magazines

[Arundhati Chatterjee]

 

 Respected all,

We purchase 51 types of national and international magazines for our library every months ; next year dumped them in scrap as per our organization's policy. Occasionally users demand old magazines and even ready to purchase for their personal use, if we sale old Magazine as per their requirement, then it will be a source of income of library. What should we do? waiting for your valuable suggestion.

It is good as already practiced in some of our libraries.u can also make a book reservoir or u can donate the needy libraries for their users.

No madam that is valuable information for your library resources. You can develope income in another ways for your library. You Know one proverb Old is Gold. soo that keep all your magazines year wise. If your storage area is full you can digitize that material and sale after that. You keep all your magazines resources atleast 10 years back issue.

Yours

M.Madan Mohan.

Dear Madam,

As per My knowledge All the Magazines and Journals should go for bound Volumes. Change your policy matter and add the bound volume system in your library. Bound volumes will increase the value of your library services.

Thanks and Regards

It depends on library user which type of information needed for future that you can keep and bound it. If its not use for your library user you can donate or you can sell it to other library which they may need.
