I used to bind incomplete volumes til last week. Last Friday I found a wonderful listserve where serials librarians exchange duplicate copies. I have already filled several holes in my collection just this week. The list is backserv@sun.readmore.com Send a message to listserv@sun.readmore.com No subject. In the body of the message type: SUBSCRIBE BACKSERV firstname lastname Next week I will start trying to get rid of some of my duplicates. Perhaps you will need some of mine.

Prior to that time, incomplete volumes were held (unbound) in the Serials Office and, before that, they were subjected to "temporary" in-house binding. Although we make every attempt to replace missing issues, we find that it is much more effective to bind an incomplete volume and get it out for public use than to hold it indefinitely. We do not identify missing issues on the spine, but we insert a special form in the front of the volume stating which issue(s) are missing. We also insert a form in the section of the volume where the issue should be. These forms not only tell the patron that the issue is missing, but it directs them to contact the Interlibrary Loan Unit if they need a specific article, etc. We indicate missing issues as part of our online holdings records.

For example, the insert sheet would refer users to microfilm if we carry micro in that title; if the title isn't available in our library in any format, we offer interlibrary loan as an alternative on the insert sheet.

I don't note it as being incomplete anywhere because with vandalism the way it is I doubt we have a complete volume of anything these days.
