Summary: Old journals for LA, MS areas affectd by Katrina

Hi All,

Some of you wanted a summary of my post regarding journals, books etc
being donated to hurricane affected libraries. I received many responses
to my post and below is the summary.  MLA has devoted a Web page to all
of relief efforts, $ and other:
http://www.mlanet.org/hurricane_katrina.html .   The latest issue of the
NN/LM Southeaster/Atlantic region newsletter Has an article on a medical
journal auction site that will help libraries damaged by hurricanes
rebuild their collections.  If you have journals to donate, or need
journals, you might want to check it out:
http://nnlm.gov/sea/seacurrents/2005/6/article3.php .  Several people
mentioned Pubzilla.  Here are three websites regarding this:
http://www.mlanet.org/hurricane_katrina.html , http://www.iknosys.com/
http://www.iknosys.com/html/charity.html .  PubZilla offers "unlimited
free use of its online auction site for donating medical journals to
help restore the libraries affected by the 2005 hurricane season and
other recent natural disasters."  Here are a few more websites:

Absolute Backorder: Absolute Bookorder Inc. is offering affected
libraries free replacement issues from their inventory. There are also
developing a database where other libraries can offer duplicate journal
issues to the affected libraries.

I hope some of this will be of help.  I am still in the process of
getting my weeded journals list together and plan to post it through a
few of these avenues in the next few weeks.

Hi All,

This may have came up in recent months and I may have missed it.  Are
any of you aware of replacement journal needs of those medical libraries
in the Louisiana and Mississippi areas struck by Hurricane Katrina?  We
are in the process of weeding some of our older journals to make room
for the coming year and I don't want to toss these, if they can be of
use.  I am a member of backmed and backserv, but thought I would check
here first.  

Thank you,

Tonia
