Using Tape on Multi-Part Items
The document provides instructions for using tape to attach multiple items such as a book and DVD case. The items are lined up with flush bottoms and spines and taped on the outside spine. Tape is then applied to the inside of the hinge to avoid exposed sticky parts. This allows the items to be attached as one piece and sit nicely on the shelf while still allowing the case to be replaced if damaged.

Using Tape on Multi-Part Items
1. Using Tape on Multi-Part Items
Hat tip to Ani Kiredjian, former AV
technician extraordinaire at Cary
Memorial Library in Lexington
2. In this example, were using a book that came with 3 discs. No
way those were going to last in pockets!
Note that
spine label
is already
on in this
case
I put the
discs in a
3-DVD
case
3. We line up the book and case so the
bottoms and spines are flush (hand
model is library tech Nancy).
Then we place them on our tape
dispenser loaded with 3 inch Scotch
Book Tape.
4. We apply the tape so it will cover both spines as if we were
taping the spine of a single book.
5. Now, we open the
book and apply tape
to the inside of the
hinge we created (so
no sticky stuff is
exposed).
6. Voila! The two pieces are attached. You can see that they sit
quite nicely on the shelf.
7. Heres an example using
one of The Great
Courses. In this case, we
put the spine label over
both pieces and then
taped.
If the case gets damaged,
well simply cut it off and
tape a new case on.
