I am hoping that somebody may be able to offer me some advice and
information on any current withdrawal schemes that are in operation in other
institutions.
The withdrawal policy that is being implemented here at the moment, is
merely to withdraw and then pulp all unrequired stock. However, I feel that
this cannot be the most fruitful (or ethical) way to dispose of all these
books and would be most grateful to hear of any charities or schemes which
would benefit from them or even of any internal distribution programmes
which allow students access to withdrawn books in their colleges.
Of course, as with anything else, the primary concern has to be one of time
and money and at the moment there seems to be precious little of either to
support my cause!
Looking forward to hearing any suggestions,
