Dissertation Binding

Graduate students, committee members, or departments may wish to have bound copies of dissertations that have been filed with the Graduate Division. This may be accomplished by ordering copies through the Conservation Section of the Serials Department in the Davidson Library. To do this, you will need to fill out the requisition “Dissertation Binding Form”. The ordering process is handled through the student’s department, so students will need to reimburse their department for the cost of binding. See additional instructions on the Dissertation Binding Form. If you decide to order copies through the Davidson Library, you will need to supply the actual pages of your dissertation to the Library for binding (the Library will not reproduce the pages for you). These pages can but do not have to be on 100% cotton bond paper. Bring the requisition form, along with however many copies you wish to have bound to the Serials Department. The binding process takes about one month. Bound copies of the dissertation will be sent to the student’s department once they have been returned from the U.C. Bookbindery. For questions, feel free to contact Jessie Jones or David Howarter at (805) 893-2584.

2008/2009 Scheduled Shipments to the UC Book Bindery

Shipments are normally picked up on Friday, every other week. The first shipment in January 2008 has been adjusted to allow the UC Bookbindery time to process our shipment after returning from the Christmas/New Years Holidays. Please deliver all materials to the Conservation Section no later than the Monday prior to the shipment on which you wish the materials to go out. If you have any questions please contact the Conservation Section Head at extension 2584 or direct e-mail to David Howarter (Howarter@library.ucsb.edu).
