2. Library Science. To determine, usually by close examination of signatures, leaves, illustrations, and other characteristics, if a copy of a book is complete and perfect, or to compare it with descriptions of ideal copies, found in bibliographies. Also, to compare two printed works page-by-page and line-for-line, to determine whether they are identical copies or variants of the same text.
3. Printing. In binding, to check that the sections of a book are in correct sequence after they have been gathered. The task is made easier by printing shallow collating marks in descending stepped sequence along the back foldline, which makes misplaced sections easy to spot. The marks are concealed once the lining has been applied and the case attached.
