Replacing Old Copies of the Book with New Copies
Hello everyone,
In our school library we get specimen copies of books related to all academic subjects from different publishers every year. A lot of books are same with that of the books received in previous years. Only in some book's the prices are increased and other details are remained the same.The previous year's copy we have to discard.
So, can I replace the old copy with the new copy with the same accession number in accession register?
Can I place the new copy at the discarded book's place?
Is it possible to maintain a separate accession register for these specimen copies?

Specimen copies are for personal use not for the library. You may distribute these books to teachers and students.
Thank you.
