Poll Question:
What do you do with publications after you have read it? I used to keep all publications. Then I only kept certain articles. Now I only keep 3 publications and cancelled or toss the rest.

For the sake of the poll, I interpreted "scan what you want" the same as clip what you want. |

It always troubles me when stamp collectors say they throw out their old publications. It is a missed opportunity to share information with other philatelists and a chance to introduce the hobby to a non collector. Take them to stamp shows or club meetings and someone is bound to pick them up. Sell them on ebay. Donate them to a school or nursing home. Leave them in waiting rooms. The possibilities are endless! Art's poll has some great ideas on how to recycle them! |

I donate them to the Northern Philatelic Library in St. Paul. I just brought them 2 boxes last month. |

I travel a lot. Some time back I was sitting at the terminal gate and next to me was a used copy of Linn's, address still attached. What a good way for someone to find out what you may have at your home. ALWAYS remove your address label from any publication you may leave behind, toss or donate.

I hang on to every philatelic publication. Over the years, I've found myself going back to find an article that's totally relevant to me now that I would've thought worthless at that time.
Some specialty philatelic orgs do make their back issues available online or available for purchase on disc, but most don't, and the major philatelic publications don't, or don't go back very far. Until there's better online/digital retrieval available, I feel like there's a strong argument to hang on to them.
(So I didn't answer the poll, because there didn't seem to be an option that would apply to "ILoveStamps" and myself.)

This is my major project I am working on now. I am scanning all the clippings I want to keep and then will re-cycle the paper. For those articles that would take too many phases for the scanner, due to the size of the scanner bed, I will leave in binders. Regardless, whether they are in binders, or scanned and put into Word files, I will have them all indexed and in alphabetical order for quick reference in the future.
