Can you help the library replace its missing journals?

At times, and for a variety of reasons, the library may not receive issues of journals, or discovers that issues have disappeared after receipt. We have compiled a list of missing journals, and would gratefully accept donations of personal copies. Please contact Nancy O'Brien for more information.
