General Guidelines
The Library will accept volumes from University departments for binding.
All volumes will be sent with the Library's regular bindery shipments.
Payment must be made through a LVPO to Acme.
Binding will not be done for individuals or organizations other than University departments.
Procedure
Departments requesting binding must bring the volumes to the Acquisitions Unit of the Library.
Each volume must be packaged as it is to be bound.
Each volume must be accompanied by the appropriate paperwork.
Department volumes must be accompanied by a photocopy of a College Requisition form which has been filled out in accordance with the instructions stated on the URI Departmental Binding Form.
The Department requesting binding services must fill out a bindery slip for each volume following the information supplied on the Bindery Form.
The Information Services Technician in the bindery unit will check the volumes when they are received to make sure all instructions have been followed and will notify the department of any problems.
The volumes will be boxed ready to be sent with the Library's next bindery shipment. The total number of volumes being sent will be included on the bindery packing slip.
When the bound volumes are received by the Library, the bindery unit will call or email the department to pick up their volumes.
Acme will send a separate invoice for the non-library department. This invoice for the shipment will be checked by the bindery unit Information Services Technician when it is received. The invoice and College Requisition will be given to the department when they pick up their volumes. They are responsible for their own payments.
