Subject: LARS Binding program

        This is the first time we have used LARS, and it seems to be
more
time consuming than binding with out LARS.  This is the process I have
followed and I'm looking for suggestions to streamline and speed up the
process.

        1. Check to determine information of volumes to be bound
        2. Make up and print duplicate binding tickets
        3. Pull journals-one ticket in volume to be bound, one for our
library's records.
        4. Make changes or delete entries from jobs that cannot be bound
or
are mistakes.
        5. Print out Job Report.
        6. Check binding ticket information, i.e.. Title, year, volume,
numbers, to be sure it is correct and in appropriate volume and matches
Job
Report.  Also check item number to be sure binding ticket matches Job
Report.
        7. Make any changes, pack volumes.

        The main concern I have is the time factor.  It seems to take
much
longer than I had anticipated and am wondering if there are things I can
do
to make binding go smoother.

        Thank You,
