Mykie,

 

You might make the case that binding is preserving the library/university assets, particularly for periodicals where you have no or very limited online access. I would think very strategically about which issues need to be preserved and why and then present that to your library director. As other people mentioned with bound periodicals receiving little use, it is hard to make the case to bind everything.  – Kate Seago, University of Kentucky.

 

 

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
