Surplus Publications


NAL does not coordinate or manage a surplus acquisition and distribution program for books and journals not needed in the NAL collection. NAL's former surplus program was de-emphasized in 1998 and, as a result, neither monographs nor journals are solicited or managed by NAL for distribution to other organizations. Libraries wishing to receive, list or exchange surplus may consult the Web site Back Issues and Exchange Services.
