Greetings:

Mount Saint Vincent University Library has recently acquired a number of Gale’s Literary Criticism series online and is planning to withdraw the print.  We would like very much to find new homes for the volumes or help libraries fill in runs.  If any of the following collections are of interest to you please let me know.  We can then discuss transport.

Also, please feel free to forward these details to other libraries you think may be interested.

With thanks,
