Duplicate Exchange (DUPEX) Service

What is it?
The DUPEX Service facilitates the exchange needs of books, periodicals, and microform collections. This distribution list is limited to the exchange of free materials, the only cost being postage.

Who can sign up?
List members must either be ACL members themselves or be working under the supervision of someone who is a full or associate ACL individual member at the same institution.

How do I sign up?
Email the DUPEX coordinator with the following information:
            ACL member’s name
            Name of contact person
            Email of contact person
            Institution’s name

What if I have items that I want to sell?
Priced lists or other library items that are for sale can be offered to the main ACL discussion list.

What if I have free exchange items that are not books, periodicals or microform?
Other library items such as furniture being offered for exchange are sent to the main distribution list because other ACL members or institutions that do not access the ACL DUPEX Service may be interested in these items.

When and Why Created: Created in the Fall of 2002. This Service began in direct response to the requests of the ACL membership who wanted a separate discussion list to handle dupex items so that the main ACL discussion list would not be cluttered with emails that only a select group of people were interested in seeing.
Individual members: 114 (4/05)
Institutions represented: 104 (4/05)
