        If people are pulling volumes before making up binding slips,
what
do you do so you will know what binding slips to create?  Are you making
a
list with title and volume info as you go? In the past, our bindery
created
the tickets, and we pulled from the tickets filling in information as we
pulled.

        Thank You,
                 Dolores Coyle

Hi Dolores

Here's what I do

1.Pull loose issues.  I usually do a full book truck at a time, maybe 15
or
25 titles at once.

2.Sort into order checking for missing issues, check for index, remove
usage stats sheet from back cover, elasticize.  I sometimes have
assistance from clerk or student assistant on this part.  If it is not a
complete volume I set it aside to troubleshoot as a separate chore.

3.Search title in LARS, input data, print binding ticket, check accuracy
on
binding ticket and match to volume in hand, attach binding ticket to
elasticized volume, pack.

4.  When shipment is completed process disk and pack in box.  Print
Circulation Report and place in the front of the Journal Holdings
Binder.

5.  Create P.O. for current shipment using printed Job Report.
