We also bind with lacks, though our binding is now only for materials that do not have a strong electronic archive. We list lacks on the spine of the volume and include them in our bibliographic record, which is helpful for document delivery folks.

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
