Thompson" <cathompson@UPS.EDU> Subject: Re: Vandalized Periodicals (Paula Pinter) Hello, For most periodicals that are vandalized or damaged, we mark them "Officially Noted - Damaged/Pages Missing" and continue to use. This would include journals that we discard after a certain period or journals where we receive micro as well as paper. If it is a title we want to bind complete, we will replace the entire issue with an undamaged one - which we purchase.

We order a copy of the article or pages from Interlibrary loan, photocopy it, and bind it in, or, if it is already bound, tip it in with glue. The best time to make such repairs is just before you bind the volume. If you provide the binder with the photocopied pages, bindery staff will take care of trimming the pages to the right size and taking apart the issue to insert the replacement pages. They will be bound in firmly. If you find an already bound volume has been vandalized, tipping in works if it is only a few pages, but not if there are more than just a few. Then you may have to rebind the whole volume, and you will have to evaluate whether it is worth it, or whether there will be more damage than benefit in the process of rebinding. It has never occurred to me to put an article in a pocket at the back of the issue. I guess it would be faster and cheaper than rebinding, but the insert would be easy to lose. Would you write some kind of note where the missing article belongs, directing the reader to find the pocket?

Thats for titles that don't come on microform. Now that we have access to many journals full-text through the computer, we probably will also include that stipulation. We do the same thing for books with torn-out pages. Thanks. Debbie Harrell Ingram Library, State University of West Georgia phone: 770-836-6498 fax: 770-836-6626
