Library Assistance
Services
Library Assistance Services allow libraries to reduce the amount of
staff time needed to process volumes both before and after binding.
Box and Bind services include the various steps that are
performed before volumes are sent for binding or during the binding
process.
Shelf Help shelf-ready services include steps that are
typically performed after the bound volumes are returned from the
bindery.
Box and Bind: Bindery Preparation Services
Box and Bind services include the following:
Bindery Preparation for Monographs
Monographs are boxed and sent with the bindery shipment.
Lettering information is entered in the bindery, eliminating the
need to prepare binding tickets in advance.
Bindery Preparation for Journal Volumes
Journal issues are bundled together and packed at the library.
The bindery will ensure that issues are in the correct order, and
will use your existing journal database to prepare the volumes for
binding.
Treatment Decision Making and Bindery Preparation
The library packs all materials needing preservation treatment.
The bindery will sort the materials and, based on a profile
completed by the library, will assign the appropriate treatment for
the item, such as binding, conservation treatment or preservation
photocopying.
Within days of receiving the shipment, we will sort the materials
and send a detailed report to the library documenting the selected
treatment for each volume. After receiving confirmation from the
library, the treatment process will begin.
Copying Cover, Pastedown or Dust Jacket Information
To preserve information on the cover, pastedown or dust jacket,
the bindery will photocopy this information and bind the copied
pages into the volume. Both bitonal and color photocopies are
available.
Color Copy Original Cover
To preserve the look of original publisher binding, the bindery
will make a color copy of the original cover and use that to produce
a Clear Cover binding.
Tattle Tapes
The bindery will insert Tattle Tapes during the binding process.
Shelf Help: Shelf-ready Services
Edge Stamping
The bindery will stamp up to two edges of each bound volume.
Duplicate Barcode Labels
The bindery will produce a barcode label for each bound volume
and will place where specified by the library.
Pre-sorted Packing
The bindery will sort bound volumes by type, location, or both
and will pack them accordingly. This service eliminates the need to
sort the shipment after it is received in the library.
Additional Marking or Labeling
The placement of additional marking or labeling, such as “Do Not
Circulate” stickers, can be done at the bindery after a volume is
bound.
Bookplates
Bookplates can be placed, as designated, into bound volumes.
Item-specific Bookplates
Special recognition bookplates, such as those commemorating
donors, can be placed, as designated, into bound volumes.
Date Due Slips
The bindery will supply and place Date Due Slips in bound
volumes.
Report Preparation
The bindery can provide a wide variety of reports to meet
the needs of your library. If your library subscribes to two or more
Box and Bind services, or two or more Shelf Help services, report
preparation services are provided free of charge.
