Gregory Mayer, a biologist at the University of Wisconsin at Parkside, writes:

For various reasons, the library here at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside has been discarding it's journal collection. Isis, Philosophy of Science, and the British Journal for the Philosophy of Science are among those that have been discarded. The biology department took in the discarded copies of those journals, and has held them on behalf of our philosophy department, because we had shelf space in a lab where we could keep them, but this space has now been lost, and our philosophy department still cannot house them. I am hoping to find a library or person who would want them, as an alternative to putting them in a landfill.

There are long runs of all three journals, mostly bound in buckram, but some in the cheaper board binding, and some loose issues; the early volumes of Isis are on microfilm (although there is also a long print run of later issues). I can, of course, provide details of which volumes are present (which, roughly, are complete sets of all three up to the 2000's).

I would be happy to give these to a philosopher, graduate student, or library. Pickup or drop off in the Chicago area should be easily arrangeable.  Of course, outside the Chicago area shipping would be needed, so there would be some cost to the recipient in such a case.
