Have you made the film/fiche you wish to dispose of available via
duplicate exchange?  We often obtain film/fiche from other libraries
this way & then it gets used rather destroyed.  I know I'd be
interested in seeing a list of what you are disposing of as long as
it's in good shape.  GO

Would anyone on this listserv have advice about environmentally-safe
disposal for microform?  I am preparing to have a few thousand pieces of
microfiche and some microfilm withdrawn.  Is it appropriate to dispose of
them in the regular trash?  Thanks very much. Rani
