each institute has different rules for write off. it depends upon your authority.we weed out books every year.
Absolete book, old syllabus.not in condition of binding also are generally written off.we write off every year . .make a list of
such books and get a sanction from the library committee. then weed out is done in the acc register by rounding up that no, we write G O no in front of that acc no.then those books are kept for sale in the lib.with some nominal charges.remaining we sale them as waste paper. since lib is growing oranism weed out of books in large lib is essential.then we change the data in the software also.so this is the procedure we follow.
regards
well said prabha mam
Hello ma'am
If book is lost so what will process do please let me know
Write off is the process to phase out the book from library. Which is not in use or not issued since last 3 years or more, book are not informative as per the law or reader dont want to use. or Book will be teared off by the reader book is not in a position to repair.
This type of book can be written off.
Library has a committee of Chairmen, members. By deciding or Annual stock verification books can be written off as per status of the book.
Hi,
Actually by a immediate action & the order of the management, we have taken the stock verification with help of the faculties due to insufficient of manpower in library.Their report is unbelievable.Because they show a long list of missing books in which a few books (SRIMT40+SBS 20= Total 60) belongs to latest acquisitions.I think those books may be either miss placed or in any record without our knowledge.
Reports of the stock verification
1.SRIMT LIBRARY
Issued | 376 |
Available/Damaged | 5 |
Available | 4662 |
Out of Stock | 9 |
Not Available | 205 |
Total No. of Volumes | 5257 |
2.SBS LIBRARY
Issued | 93 |
Available | 2836 |
Out of Stock | 25 |
Not Available | 65 |
Total No. of Volumes | 3019 |
Library committee & Management said for writing-off all unavailable books.I think It will be better if we once search unavailable books in all records & Library stocks after that we process for written-off,otherwise we can do it after an another error-less stock verification in starting of a new session (summer vacation).But management force us for imidiate action for write-off unavailable books.
Finally I can not understand If we found a book after written-off ,then what step we should be.
Thank you all those who participate in my discussion.

sir first confirm the list of missing books.if your management is in hurry to write off ,convince them that u have to search the books again. only missing list books can be searched.Many times books are misplaced and found later. In case you get such books after written off, then if that particular book is essential for reader then that can be added in the gift book register and retained in the library. if it is not required by the reader then u can dispose such book. the written off list is not decided by the no time thye book has been borrowed by the reader but the authetication or rare books have to be preseved. thank you for the reply.
agree with mam.............
if a book founds Missing / unavailable / non traceable thrice continuously then it can be said LOST
after this one can add it to appropriate list
Hello sir
If a book lost so what will further process which type of documents I hve to manage please tell in detail.
