The Binding and Preparations Unit consists of three sections:

The Binding Collection staff collects periodical issues from the stacks and from display areas for delivery to the Binding staff. Collection staff picks up collect slips daily from Serials Acquisitions for current periodical subscriptions (excepting Science) when complete binding units have been received.

Collected periodicals are delivered to Binding daily.

Binding staff prepares library materials for bi-weekly shipment to the commercial bindery. This staff creates holdings data in the library catalog for periodical volumes which are being bound. Materials sent to the bindery are checked out and displayed in the catalog as charged to the Bindery.

The Preparations staff physically prepare new books by applying spine labels, inserting errata, and attaching date-due slips. They also perform in-house binding of selected materials and repair materials.
