Do you want personal copies of your
bound thesis or dissertation? If so, you can make arrangements
through Bindery services,
Cudahy Library, Lake Shore Campus.
How do I get a personal copy of my dissertation bound?
1. Visit the Cudahy Library Bindery Office, where
you will fill out a form and pay the fee. If you can't
visit
during regular hours, please fill out this online
form,
print it out and include it when mailing or dropping
off your copies.
2. Select the color of the cover (make sure you pick a dark enough color so
gold imprint is readable).
3. Make sure you have double checked materials for errors or mistakes (the
bindery dept. will not be responsible for any typing or out of order problems).
How much will the binding cost?
Price: $20.00 per bound copy. The charge is for physical
bound piece; a 2 volume dissertation costs $40. We do prefer
a written check, but we accept exact amounts of cash (the
check should be
written out to Loyola University).
Where can I drop my dissertation off for binding?
You may bring your dissertation to the Bindery Office
at Cudahy Library, Monday through Friday between 8:30-12:00
A.M. and 1:00-5:00 P.M.
If Water Tower Campus is more convenient as a drop off
point, please contact the following individual to complete
the process there:

How long will it take for my bound dissertation to arrive?
Personal copies will be sent out to our commercial binder.
This process takes close to five weeks. When finished,
copies can be picked up at the Cudahy Library circulation
desk, on the Lake Shore Campus. Please specify if you need
them sent to a Loyola campus other than Lake Shore.
NOTE: All theses and dissertations are sent to our commercial
binder, and sometimes mistakes are made. A thesis or dissertation
with an unacceptable error committed by us or our binder
will be sent again for binding, free of charge. You do
not get an extra one free; for instance if one copy is
incorrect you may have that one redone for free, or a substitute
copy if the first one is impossible to rebind, but you
do not get to have two copies sent back for free. Rebinding
a dissertation entails sending it through the process again;
there will be another 2-3 weeks delay and the copy will
be trimmed so that it may be rebound.
If you are very concerned about the quality of your
bound manuscript, we recommend that you avoid submitting
it for
binding between the months of May and August when our binder’s
error rate is much higher than usual.
The Bindery does not ship to patrons. We only ship through
Loyola’s intercampus mail. You may pick up your bound
copies at one of the Loyola library circulation desks,
or have it shipped through intercampus mail to a Loyola
University department. If you do not live in the area,
you may mail copies to us to be bound, and have a friend
or professor pick up the copies and mail them back for
you. The reason for our policy is this: many have been
lost in the mail in the past.
The following bindery will bind materials for private
persons and mail them back. It is owned and operated by
the same company which runs our commercial binder.

Velobind Information
What is a velobind? It is a soft-cover binding similar
to what you might get at a copy shop. It can be used on
any dissertation, thesis, manuscript, etc. that is an inch
or less in thickness. Holes are punched on one side of
the pages, and the pages are sandwiched between two covers.
Both covers can be an opaque plastic sheet of various colors,
or the top sheet can be a clear plastic cover. Pegs are
passed through the holes into a strip on the bottom, and
a heat process is used to melt the ends of the pegs to
the strip, thus binding the item.
Who can use this service? Any Loyola faculty, staff, or
students wishing to have a dissertation, thesis, manuscript,
report, etc. bound in a soft-cover style. The item must
be an inch or less in thickness. Pastoral Studies and Pastoral
Counseling students usually have their department copies
velobound.
Where to go? Bring your theses/dissertations copies to:
Christa Rutt
Bindery Office,
Cudahy Library- Room 020, lower level
Tel.: (773) 508-2138
Hours: 8:30 a.m.-12:00, 1:00-5:00 p.m. M-F
- Please be sure to bring all the copies of your theses/dissertations
that you want bound. We do not make copies.
- It is your
responsibility to check that your copies are in the
correct order, photocopied correctly, etc.
- The price
is $2.00 per copy. Payment is due before copies are
bound. Unfortunately, we do not have any
change, so it is best for you to bring the exact
amount, or pay by check to Loyola University.
- The velobind
colors available may be limited. We are having difficulties
in obtaining new velobind supplies, and while we still have a lot on
hand, the most popular colors are becoming scarce.
- This is an extra
service provided for Loyola students. Please keep in
mind that the Bindery staff has many other duties to
perform and
meetings to attend,
therefore the staff may sometimes be out of the office. It would
be best to phone beforehand, just to be sure that someone
is available.
- If no one is available, students can drop
off their copies at Cudahy Library's circulation desk.
Please remember to leave a note with
a daytime phone number
so the Bindery staff can contact you easily. It can take anywhere
from one to two days to get your bound copies.
- We do not mail
out. We only send items through intercampus mail.
