We drill 2 holes through each assembled
volume and bind them between book boards using plastic cable
locks. Not elegant but effective, and when photocopying narrow
margins requires the cables be cut, they're easy to replace. So
your expenses are the boards and the cable locks.
We use an antiquated Togic drill press, no longer made(?) or
serviced, but a hand drill would suffice (emphasizing caution, of
course).

Hi Everyone,
Our binding budget will be cut this
year. I’m not sure by how much or if it will totally be
cut. What have you all been doing instead of binding?
Sending loose issues to the bound shelves when there
normally would have been a unit big enough to bind? If you
do this, do you put tattle strips every issue? Right now,
we only strip the titles that tend to “walk off,” even
though they still go missing. What other options are there
besides shrink wrap?
Thanks!
Mykie
