Library Binding Fees (Optional)
Payment for any applicable fees below should be made in cash, credit/debit card, or personal check (payable to the Library of Rush University Medical Center).
Students who wish to purchase bound copies for their own keeping may do so at a cost of $20 each, plus shipping if you cannot pick them up from the library. Contact the Library's Technical Services Manager at (312) 942-2276 for information about this service. Other binding options include commercial printers or ProQuest. For each requested bound copy, you will need to provide a printed copy of your manuscript.
If you want your own copy/copies, you will receive a hardcover, bound edition of your dissertation or thesis, 9x12, with printing on both spine and cover (space permitting). Please bring:
- copies of your work. We do not print your document for you. As this is for your own use, it can be on any type of paper but we highly recommend using high-quality rag paper. Please bring as many copies as you plan to purchase (if you want two copies for yourself, please bring two sets of your work).
- $20 per bound copy
- shipping fees if you are not able to pick them up. Shipping fees are determined by the package's destination and weight, and will be determined at your final appointment.
Preparing Your Manuscript for Library Binding
Please print your manuscript following the listed requirements for library binding.

- At least 25% rag content (a.k.a. cotton or high quality bond) paper. You can find this with the resume paper at any office supply store.
