Hi all,

 

I’m all for not binding, but I’m wondering what you do with the print issues you’re keeping if you don’t bind them. Do they just sit on the shelf in a pile? Do you put them in boxes (Princeton files)? What is your shelf management strategy when you need/want to keep the print, but don’t actually bind them?

 

Thanks,

Kim

Hi everyone,

 

UConn holds many unbound serials - mostly backlog, as we are down to only a handful of new print receipts. Are your libraries still binding serials? Why or why not? If you do, how do you decide which serials get bound and which get shelved permanently unbound?

 

Thanks in advance for sharing your perspectives!

 

Michael
