I would argue for preservation then. Loose issues will eventually fade and curl. They are also a lot more likely to walk out the door than bound volumes are.

We’re a small performing arts school. A large percent of our student population still uses primarily the print subscriptions we get, thus we still bind a good number of them. The art images and ad images for period flavor are valuable to our students.

 

 

 

Hi,

 

Could you all help me come up with reasons to continue binding periodicals?  I have some (saving money-rather than putting security strips in every issue, security, being fiscally responsible with state money, etc.), but I’m looking for more to make my case.  Last year, I was only able to send out 200 items, and my director didn’t really want me to send that much.  We have overflowing shelves and really need to send more out.

 

Thanks in advance!

Mykie
