 Respected all,

We purchase 51 types of national and international magazines for our library every months ; next year dumped them in scrap as per our organization's policy. Occasionally users demand old magazines and even ready to purchase for their personal use, if we sale old Magazine as per their requirement, then it will be a source of income of library. What should we do? waiting for your valuable suggestion.

It is good as already practiced in some of our libraries.u can also make a book reservoir or u can donate the needy libraries for their users.

 

No madam that is valuable information for your library resources. You can develope income in another ways for your library. You Know one proverb Old is Gold. soo that keep all your magazines year wise. If your storage area is full you can digitize that material and sale after that. You keep all your magazines resources atleast 10 years back issue.

We already have bound volumes of magazines from 1991 to till date when our media group was started, every month we save some selective magazines for record (Binding) Purpose here I am talking about those spare copies of magazines which are purchased for only display use in library and next year dumped them in scrap

Dear sir,

Do you have any idea how can we develope source of income in another ways for our library inspite of fine recovery.

Regards

take fine about damage book 

take fine about breaking rule of your library 

take fine about use of mobile phone in library 

take fine about using eating chocolate and other materials 

You write it and approved by your authority and take fine many ways also available in minds.

good suggestion.

Very good suggestion.....

 

Good morning madam,
This is very good that you arise this question. Magazine have lot of informatics material inside. I am agree with Permalink sir. You must keep all magazine record in the library only.At the end of the year you can sent special magazine{Chemistry today/ Safari/Competition success/etc.. for compiling. and then take them under the library record as compile magazine /book.

Regards

Good morning madam,

 I want to add something We already have bound volumes of magazines from 1991 to till date when our media group was started, every month we save some selective magazines for record (Binding) Purpose here I am talking about those spare copies of magazines which are purchased for only display use in library and next year dumped them in scrap.

Dear Madam,

As per My knowledge All the Magazines and Journals should go for bound Volumes. Change your policy matter and add the bound volume system in your library. Bound volumes will increase the value of your library services.

Thanks and Regards

It depends on library user which type of information needed for future that you can keep and bound it. If its not use for your library user you can donate or you can sell it to other library which they may need.
