Disbinding

Scope note

Use for the process of removing sections of gathered matter from within a binding with the intention that they stand alone thereafter. Where the gathered matter has been removed from the binding in preparation for rebinding in a different form, use "pulling (dismantling)." Where the gathered matter has been collated but never bound, for example a book in sheets, signatures, or gatherings, use "unbound."
