About Serials Exchange

From 1974 to 1987 libraries and other donors sent approximately 2.8 million items to Serials Exchange. MINITEX returned 254,000 of these items to participating libraries that had submitted requests of needed serials for the Serials Exchange Periodical Request Catalog. We began operation on a cost recovery basis in 1987 and from then through 2001, an estimated 4.0 million issues have been received with over 49,000 issues being sent on to participating libraries.
