My question is - how has this affected your bindery or pre-bindery operations? **To date not at all because we haven't cancelled print when electronic is available. We are, however, starting to seriously think about such cancellations when we believe electronic will consistently "be there." Have you maintained your bindery budget at the same levels or at reduced levels? ***Increased only to keep up with inflation. Do you still bind materials that are now being received in an electronic format? *** Yes Are you giving any thought to stop binding altogether? *** NO Are you using the bindery operation for monographic rebinds only now that many journals are available electronically? ** Half the time is spent binding journals and the other monographs and other material in order to protect the collection. Any decrease in binding journals will be picked up by the monograph collection. Have you had time and the labour/staff to be able to verify what should or should not be bound because of journals being available electronically? *** No Are there any other bindery questions I should be thinking of because of journals now being received in electronic form? I do not know if I can summarize for the list and am hoping the replies can be posted to the list. Many thanks in advance for all your thoughts 2)---------------------------- -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: Bindery & Electronic Journals -- Terry Schiissler Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2001 12:03:52 -0700 From: "Kathleen Carlson" <KCARLS@jcl.com> We have done away with binding. 1. They bound too tight. 2. Removed ads and sometimes we needed old ones. 3. Library budget was cut for binding. Used the money elsewhere. Kathleen Carlson Grigg Medical Library John C.

We have cancelled our paper subscriptions to many electronic journals, but we still bind the paper subs we do get. Our binding budget has decreased significantly over the past 4 years because of serials cancellations and because we quit binding all our monographs. Perhaps the only impact electronic journals have had on our binding policies is that we may not try so hard to get a missing issue if the journal is available electronically. We tend to go to great lengths to replace missing issues and not bind incomplete volumes.
