What is a
"Bound" Journal?
Publishers send
periodicals to the library in their normal soft-cover format. The
library then will store the periodicals on the third floor in their
appropriate places (alphabetical order based on their title). Since
it is highly likely that frequent use will damage the soft-cover
periodicals, approximately every year or so, after several issues have
arrived, they are sent to a book bindery, which will place the issues
together and bind them with a hard cover, as if they were a book.
Usually, the issues are bound together based on their year of
publication and/or volume number.
