Bindery Preparations

Bindery Preparations completes preparation for the commercial binding of serials and paperbacks, commercial rebinding of damaged volumes, and creation by the commercial bindery of custom preservation enclosures. The unit generally handles nearly 40,000 items annually. Bindery Preparations is also responsible for tracking binding invoices, compiling monthly statistics about items sent and errors, and implementing the binding contract. Once materials are returned from the bindery, Bindery Preparations personnel perform a quality control inspection of all bound materials and affix necessary property stamps, location stamps, and anti-theft devices.

Documentation on the activities and processes completed by the Bindery Preparations Unit are available on the Policies & Procedures page.
