Serials

The Serials Unit manages all of the journals, magazines, newspapers, microform and electronic journals for the library. This department is responsible for all aspects of the library's current periodical collection; ordering, receiving and maintaining the popular periodicals, the current newspapers, as well as the faculty reading area.

Bindery

The Bindery Unit is responsible for the maintenance of all the library's printed materials. Repairing worn book spines, book covers and torn pages as well as preserving printed materials from further damage are a few of the ways that this is accomplished. The department is also in charge of binding all of the periodicals for the library. The Bindery also receives, processes, and oversees the binding of all research papers, theses and dissertations of SDSU students and faculty.

 

 

  Binding of Theses and Dissertations

The Bindery at Briggs Library is responsible for the binding of theses and dissertations. The student is responsible for bringing in the required number of copies of their paper. The usual number needed is four (one for the dept., one for the advisor, and two for the Grad School).  Some departments have different requirements, please check with your department to make sure of the number that they need. You may have personal copies bound at the same time. The cost of binding is $10.00 per copy. We accept cash or personal checks.

The two copies for the Grad School will eventually be bound and housed at the library, one in Archives and one in the circulating stacks. At least one of these copies needs to be printed on white cotton rag paper (at least 50% cotton rag). The other copies can be printed on any white paper of your choice.

 

The commercial bindery takes between one and two months to complete the binding.
