The Binding Section is responsible for:
- Theses and Dissertations
- After the Graduate School has approved the thesis or dissertation, two copies are turned into the Bindery staff. Following graduation, the copies are bound and processed, then shelved by call number in the main collection. Check SAGE for availability.
- Binding
- Processing of periodicals (journals/magazines).
The current two years of approximately 6,200 periodical subscriptions are shelved in the Journal Room unbound. Issues older than two years are gathered and bundled, then sent to a commercial bookbinder to be hardbound. The bound volumes are returned for final processing, then shelved on the Movable Shelves in the Lower Level of Morgan Library. - Rebinding of monographs.
To extend their usability, books damaged from regular wear and tear are sent to the commercial bookbinder for rebinding.
