Hi, Sylvia.

When we have to bind incomplete volumes, we place a green page before
the first issue that has written on it the missing volumes, pages, etc.

On the spine label, we have "Incomplete" on the bottom.

Subject: [SERIALST] Binding Incomplete volumes

Good afternoon!
I am trying to find out how other libraries handle binding incomplete
serial volumes where 1 or 2 issues are missing.  Do you bind them or
not?  Also, what do you place on the spines of those bound volumes,
e.g.,  Incomplete, Lacks v. 51 n. 1?  Any information you could share
with me would be most appreciated.  Thank you in advance and have a
great day!
