Subject: Re: Periodicals binding schedule (Cecilia Leathem)

We generally tend to do our serials binding in nine shipments.  One during
Winter Intersession in January and the rest in the summer from May 18-August
31.  The only problems that can arise are missing issues but we have not had
too many of those so far.
