We consider them a part of the bibliographical unit and keep them on the books, covered by "dust jacket protectors", which are archival-quality, easy and quick to apply, inexpensive, and available from various suppliers of conservation/preservation materials.

Do you through them away? Do you catalog them separately and house them in flat files? Do you keep them on the books and cover them with mylar? Do you keep them on the books in certain circumstances such as when the content of the book jacket is not represented within the book? I would appreciate any and all responses and thank you for your time and help.
