Packing
 
 
1. Remove volumes from shelves in order, if possible.
 
2. Pack items in the condition in which they are found. Do not attempt
to close open volumes or open closed volumes that are wet.
 
3. Pack crates one layer only, snugly enough that volumes will not
slide or lean.
 
4. If books are stuck together, do not attempt to separate them, but
pack them as one volume.
 
5. Wrap open books as found and place on top of a packed container. Do
not place more than one open volume in a container. Be sure there is a
freezer paper barrier between the packed volumes and the open volume to
prevent staining from binding dyes.
 
6. Wrap freezer paper around each volume (waxed side next to volume),
write call number on the outside and place in plastic crate or box spine
down. If packing in shelf order, inclusive range label on crate can be
substituted for writing call number on each volume.
