Yes, we do. Sometimes it’s simply unavoidable. In the past, unbound volumes missing some issues would sit for years on shelving in our workspace, hoping, dreaming that some day we’d miraculously get the missing issues to fill in and then be able to bind. I stopped that practice when I came to Wheaton since it resulted in these materials being hidden away from users for very long periods and the chance of filling in the missing issues was extremely small. We insert a fluorescent green sheet indicating missing issues when sending the volume to be bound.
