We have always bound volumes incomplete with a sheet at the front of the volume indicating what is missing, the incomplete volumes are also noted in the holdings.

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.

Subject: [SERIALST] Binding volumes with missing issues

 

Hi,

 

My predecessor left binding instructions which said if a volume is missing issues, you should not bind it.

 

We have several volumes of Life magazine that we were planning to bind, but I've found many issues missing from each volume (anywhere from 2-5).

 

Do you ever justify binding volumes with missing issues like this?

 

Thank you
