 All right, so every book with a jacket is going to get its jacket covered with a protective cover So remove the jacket from the book You're gonna find an appropriate size of jacket cover So it might be a small one like this You might have to cut a big one off one of the rolls or use one of the really big ones which are right here But then you get your jacket ready take your jacket insert it Obviously you want the front of it facing the clear side of the jacket cover. I Have done it the other way around Everyone probably has at least once Get it in there Then you want to make sure it's all the way down at the bottom and because of the folds in it It's gonna want to shift on you but make sure it's all the way down there Then we're gonna take the top part and fold it around and then take a bone folder and crease it Lee Mylar has a pretty good memory Where once you crease it once that's where it's gonna stay. So you do want to make sure it's in the right spot Keep going All the way down This particular jacket cover has its own little adhesive Built in a lot of them don't the ones that don't we're just gonna use scotch tape to tape them to themselves We are not going to a fix the jacket cover to the jacket We're just gonna tape it to itself. So it's easily removable We can just slide the jacket out at a later date jackets really add value to books So we want to kind of try to preserve that as best we can I'm gonna remove my adhesive strip and then again just make sure it's folding over in the right spot Give it a once over with the bone folder You get a little crease not that big of a deal just go over it with the bone folder It's not gonna make or break anything and then there we have it The cover jacket goes back on the book We are not going to Actually tape or affix the jackets to the book themselves because most of our collection doesn't circulate So we're just gonna leave it as is it's done So for our books with cool covers that we want to give a little bit of an extra protection to We're gonna put a mylar jacket on these guys So first thing we need to do is find an appropriate piece of mylar So we're gonna look through our scraps first. We've got a whole big bin of various different scraps of mylar So if possible try to use one of those first But if none of them are gonna work or if you need a big one We also have a large roll of mylar here too that you can use to make a make a jacket So I find it easiest to just use the book rather than trying to measure with a ruler or something like that I think it's easiest to just line up the book So I'm gonna put my mylar make sure it is straight on my cutting mat And then I'm gonna line up my book in the corner and then oops Then I will position my ruler at the appropriate place and this is where I'm gonna make my cut I'll remove the book before I do that just to make sure I don't move anything Work your fingers down try not to remove the ruler and cut your mylar Once your mylar is cut to size you're gonna insert one edge on it and then fold it over and you can pinch it with your fingers first or just Use your bone folder the first fold isn't as crucial because you still have the other side where you can take up any Slack if it's not a snug fit. So put one side the other side over And this one you're gonna want to wrap your mylar around and tuck it in First again pinch a corner. So you know where that fold needs to be then remove the book and Use your bone folder to make that crimp really nice and firm When you're done, make sure you have a good fit That the cover fits the book well looks like it fits pretty well. And then the last step Is to round the edges mylar can be sharp and might dig into some of the pages So it's best to cut around the corners and round the edges of your jacket And this book was already part of the existing collection, but on new books like this We're not going to put our spine labels and barcodes on the book itself Instead we'll put them on the outside of these mylar jackets
