Book weeding from the library

Dear Professionals,

Our college is established in the year 2001. Starting from the year 2002 books are due with students till date. Now I would like to go for automation and I am not able to understand that I need to enter these issued books details also in the software? or can I weed out those old due books as they will not be returned. for how many years I should keep the due books record? Please Clarify.

hi,

if the issued books have accession number, then u must have to enter them in the software. because institute purchased that books in 2001. after entering that books in the software u can go for discard or weeding out process. this data in software will be for lifetime. once the books is purchased and got its accession number, every process should be follow. e.g accession, issue, due, not returned, reminder, discard,weeding out. so in future at the time of audit u should not have any problem.
