The purpose of the following guidelines is to enable staff to better understand
library binding and repair procedures, to facilitate the preparation, sending,
tracking and receiving of library material through the Conservation Department.
Any questions about these guidelines should be directed to BPD staff, 2-8140.
The Library's binding budget does not currently allow us to bind everything, so allocations have been established for each library unit, to distribute available binding funds equitably (see section on ALLOCATIONS and WHAT COUNTS). Please send no more than your allocation each month, since fluctuations in workflow to the Bindery can lead to higher prices.
Binding allocations are reviewed and revised regularly by CIRG.
In order to keep materials moving through the Binding process without delay, sending units must be responsible for the accuracy of binding and routing instructions. Please consult the appropriate section of this manual when binding questions arise, or call BPD for assistance: 2-8140.
