[Eril-l] Binding print serials

[Arndt,Theresa]

Hello,

Dickinson stopped binding serials back in 2009 to save money.  We simply put the unbound issues on the shelf (no containers).   Not binding also saves staff time.   It hasn’t been a problem, although I should mention that we are increasingly using online journals, so use of our print serials has declined accordingly.

- Best, Theresa

Dear All,
I am interested to know if anyone is opting for keeping print serials issues in plastic bags instead of binding them (to reduce binding cost).
