Hi Mykie,
I would like to second Steve and Katheryn’s comments made with regard to art publications.
We try to bind as much as is feasible. When I last spoke with our bindery, they indicated that a number of institutions that had previously discontinued binding recently returned to
the practice. (I have no idea how much of that statement was salesmanship or if there truly is a resurgence in binding). Apparently loose issues were –as one would expect - suffering damage, being mis-shelved or stolen.
Kind regards,
Detta

Subject: [SERIALST] making the case for binding
Hi,
Could you all help me come up with reasons to continue binding periodicals? I have some (saving money-rather than putting security strips in every issue, security, being
fiscally responsible with state money, etc.), but I’m looking for more to make my case. Last year, I was only able to send out 200 items, and my director didn’t really want me to send that much. We have overflowing shelves and really need to send more out.
Thanks in advance!
Mykie
