Effective Jan. 1, the cost for binding dissertations and theses increased to $15 per copy from $10 per copy.
Houchen Bindery will bill all customers for stamping the title and author information on the front cover.
Because thesis and dissertation titles include custom text and are often long, cover preparation is expensive for the bindery.
Neither the bindery nor the library is able to absorb the added cost and as a result, the increase must be passed on to students.
