> Have you tried giving them to other libraries?  BACKSERV, BACKMED, and 
> ALCTSDEU are listservs that serve as an informal exchange of materials

> postage reimbursement.  You get the satisfaction of knowing another 
> library has needed material and you have gotten rid of stuff you don't 
> need.  As far as how money you could make from it, I don't know.  We

> from them frequently and have benefitted a great deal.
