[Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: Donation of 2 years' of Nature and Science journals

[Kelly]

I can get virtual copies of old editions and physical copies of future
ones but I had a whole fantasy about finding the editions that hold my
favorite major publications of the last 10 years. Hopefully I can
resist searching ebay now that I've thought about this...
