Dear Mary - The velobinding machine is a Gestetner VeloBind 161. The method of securing the papers together is quite durable but if the copy becomes tatty the plastic strip can be undone and a new one put on. We have used this method for years and have found it very successful. best wishes Heather ---------------------- Heather L.Bailey User Services Librarian Arts & Social Sciences Library Tyndall Avenue Bristol, BS8 1TJ Tel: 0117 - 9288277 [log in to unmask] On Wed, 17 Jan 2001 14:42:04 -0000 "Pelowski, Mary M" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Dear Heather > > Could you post details of Velobinding to the list - this sounds interesting > for our collection as well. > > thanks > > Mary > > Mary Pelowski > Assistant Librarian (User Services) > The Albert Sloman Library > University of Essex > Wivenhoe Park > Colchester > Essex > CO4 3UA > > Tel: 01206 873182 > > -----Original Message----- > From: H L Bailey [mailto:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: 16 January 2001 15:00 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: Short Loan Photocopied articles > > > Dear Rachel - in Bristol we use a little machine which puts a > plastic strip down the edge of the copy called (I think) Velobinding. > We sandwich the paper between thin card and put a notice on the front > about copyright.
