Yes It is required because it is authenticated copy for the library.

no madam , i think for any departt the stock register is the prime document to show their holding. Automation is the only requirement to make the resource more useful

In large automated environments think about 1lakh and above books the use of accession register is not encouraged. The sheer volume of the books being acquired makes accessioning is a repetitive, time consuming, written activity compared to online cataloguing, data entry, import, export of machine readable data into a database. As our libraries are small we may continue and spare time to accession and then create another record for the database.

I am looking after the Acquisition Section (book) of the Central Library, IIT Kharagpur. We are maintaining manual accession register although we are doing data entry using the application software package LibSys.

(a) Order No. & date  (b) Discount 

 - should be added along with your suggested information.

In the remark column one should incorporate information regarding accompanying materials like CD, DVD or Floppy (if any). It is very important to note down information relating to - paperback/hardbound form; gifted item etc.
