Procedures for sending soft-cover monographs to be bound

Updated 3/26/04

After cataloging work is complete and the LC call is entered in the item record:

· Print out the item record

· Edit the call so that it appears as it should on the spine, in vertical format:

KNR

379.5

.J33

2003

· Highlight or bold-face the title and call number

· Check if the item is part of a multi-volume set or a monographic series that is classed together; if so:

o Write “COLOR” at the head of the printout; this will alert the bindery use the correct coordinating color of the set or series

· Fold page in half lengthwise and insert snugly in book

If the item itself is too flimsy to securely hold the printout, use a paper clip to hold the printout in the middle of the book.

Check item out to Law-Bindery-Prep and set on the bindery truck for monographs.
