It seems that the majority of libraries are binding serials to some degree, though most have significantly tightened the criteria for which serials get bound. Binding budgets are being scrutinized due to budgetary constraints and declining print subscriptions. I hope this document helps with your own planning work!

Are your libraries still binding serials? Why or why not? If you do, how do you decide which serials get bound and which get shelved permanently unbound? Thanks in advance for your perspectives!
