Mending closely bound journals - best practices Liz Lorbeer 11 Sep 2006 14:10 UTC

Dear Serialst,

I checked in the SERIALST archives and was unable to find any postings
- What I am looking for are ideas on how to mend closely bound
journals.  We have a few journals that were bound too close on the
left hand margin and we are unable to photocopy or tip-in loose and
missing pages.   We've decided for journals that have an electronic
counter part, which we have archival rights to the content, just to
place the bound volume back into our collection.  However for titles
that do not have an electronic counterpart, or we are lacking archival
rights, we'd like to be able to re-mend (possibly).

Has anyone mended a closely bound journal?  Or, what other strategies
worked or didn't work.  I'd appreciate any ideas you may have!

Thanks kindly,
