Dear Professionals,

We received some books as gifts which does not have price information on it. What shall I do with regard to price column at the time of entry in the accession register ? Please help..

I think there is no need to input price in the accession register. In that case you can mention " gift" / "donate" on the price column. 

Thanks.

Ayan

Thank You

Dear Sri Shijo Thomas,

Thanks for your post.

You can do either of the two things: first, in the price coloumn simply write N.P. (that is not printed) alternately, you can try through online bookstores. If it is still not available, you can log on to the websites of the publisher. If no website is mentioned in the book, you may simply search the publisher (or the Title of the book or the ISBN) through Google or Yahoo.

If you still do not get any mention of the price, you can confidently write

N.A (NOT AVAILABLE) in the price coloumn.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

Thank you sir for your valuable information

Hi,

If price is not available from any sources, in our library (NIO- CSIR), we used to estimate a rough price by counting Rs 2 for each page and adding another 15/20 for Paperback/Hardcover. Eg: if a book with hard cover has 300 pages. we put the price as 620 Rs. (300*2+20). We do the same for journals recived as gift with no price information available. This exercise is done to show audit party, the total worth of the assets acquired as gifts.

Thank you very much sir

One more thing. In some other organisations (like ISI), gifted items are entered in a seperate register and a different sequence of accession numbers is assigned (like G0001)
