We are in the midst of a collection evaluation project which will
probably result in the withdrawal of large numbers of titles, probably
5,000 or so.  These will be primarily business and economics,
education, theology, and history titles. I am investigating options on
how to dispose of the good usable ones (but no longer in our
collection scope) For political reasons, we do not include our
withdrawn books in local book sales.

I am particularly interested in any U.S. sites who might be collecting
book donations, but welcome any advice, ideas, or experiences in
dealing with withdrawn books.

You may respond directly to me.

Thanks!

Beth
