Binding Services

Academic and administrative departments at the University of Connecticut can send theses, books and journals to Bindery Prep to process for commercial binding. Data records are entered for each item into our commercial library binding software system; the materials are sent to the bindery in the next scheduled shipment. Bindery Prep will notify the department when items are materials from the bindery are returned and ready for pickupment Schedule

Shipment Schedule

The bindery shipment is every other Wednesday. Items received after 12 p.m. on Tuesday may not go out until the following week’s shipment. Most items sent to the bindery are returned two weeks after the shipment date (the day the items are sent to the bindery, not the day they are delivered to Preservation) and are available after 3 p.m. on that day. Materials requiring special work, such as reprints and phaseboxes, may take longer (3-4 weeks).
