Joy, we always put volume and year on spine. If we are binding
volume in only one book then we just add vol. and year. If we bind a
title in more than one book we add pages after the volume line in
issues are numbered consecutively or nos. if not. If a volume covers
an academic year we put the split year on spine (ie. Vol. 9, 1994/95).
Occasionally we bind two small vols. together.

I would write   vol.44
                Jan.-June 1996

         or    vol.44
               1996-97

We indicate the volume number and the years on the spine. For example
v. 1 beginning in Summer of 1995, ending in Spring 1996:
           1
        1995/96
Consequently, v.2 will look like this:
           2
        1996/97
The patron will be informed about the publishing schedule of the serial from
the bibliographic record or the citations they are using.

Hope this helps.

If one volume that spans two years is being bound, we use a slash:
1995/96.

The spine of the volume echoes what is inside the boards--if it's half a
year, full year or one month--that's what I was taught should be on the
spine.  Don't add extraneous information like "part 1" or "part 2" unless
your serial  clearly says the same thing on its title page (or somewhere
clearly marked.)  For example:

                UTNE READER                  UTNE READER

                no. 71-73           or        no. 71-73

                Sept.-Jan.                   Sept. 1995-
                                             Jan. 1996
                1995-96

Hope this helps a little bit.

We generally do use both the volume & year(s).  In the case you cited, we
would use, for example:
         38
      1995/96

Dear Joy,
   I suppose lots of people will reply and you will get deluged with responses
but I had to throw in my 2 cents. When a volume spans two  years like that we
usually put on the spine the years it covers. ie   volume 77, 1993-94. It gets
more complicated when you have a volume that is huge where you end up with
something like this: volume 77, 1993-94 Pages 1-793 and volume 77, 1994, Pages
794-1238.  The issues in the second volume were all from just 1994, but the
issues in the first part of volume 77 were in two different  years.  If you
have just years to go by and no volume numbers there forms a pattern on the
shelf of 1993-94, 1994-95, 1995-96 and so forth.  If patrons have a month or
season as part of the citation that they are looking up, then that helps them
know which  one it might be in as well. It is just how we work it here at this
academic law library. :)

Hi Joy,

Binding preparation can be very tedious.  I have the binder print
exactly what is in the volume.  I.E. v.15
                                    July-Dec
                                     1994
or          v. 15
            Sept-May
            1994/95

IN some cases we even put the issue numbers on the spine, especially
when I have to divide up a volume.  We try do whatever makes
identification easiest.

Good luck.

Dear Joy,

I would suggest that you just indicate the vol. number and year on the
spine. Since this is your first binding project, perhaps you would like to
see what our "binding sheet" (instructions to the binder) looks like. Just
give me your fax number and I will get a copy to you.

Shalom,

Debra
