Binding specifications:
- We only accept paper copies with a hardcover with a clamp or adhesive binding that you can have created in a copy store. In the case of a clamp binding, the rail used must be aluminum. For durability reasons, the University Library recommends that you have your work bound by a bookbinding company as an full cloth binding. You can find a selection of bookbinders in Berlin and Brandenburg on the site of the Berlin Brandenburg Bookbinders Guild.
- If your work cannot be bound in one volume, we ask that you divide the work sensibly (for example, at the end of a chapter) and make another title page for the second volume.
- We reserve the right to return copies that are not bound correctly.
