Binding Personal Copies Ends August 20, 2021
Effective August 20, 2021, the Libraries will no longer offer personal binding services. Documents dropped off and paid for before August 20, 2021 will be processed with the Libraries' next shipment.

- Alkek Print Shop (plastic comb binding)
- PhD Book Binding (hard cover, softcover)
