Dear all,
For those who are interested: (as we're probably approaching the
summertime clearout season)
BookAid international
http://www.bookaid.org
Bookaid international journals section is at
http://www.bookaid.org/cms.cgi/site/getinvolved/subjects/_journals.htm
They're looking for quite specific titles, and mainly the pre-current
year.
They mentioned titles such as : Economist, New Scientist, Nature -
there doesn't seem to be a list on theirr website, so you'd have to
contact them to check on other titles.
There is a partner scheme - you partner with a particular African
University, & presumably ship out last years run of needed journals on a
regular long term basis.
Does anyone on the list do this sort of thing? My curiousity's aroused
- what happens if we all go electronic and abandon print for desired
titles?
