Dear Priyanka Jee,
I would like to say that the Both methods (replied by Pawan Jee, Kamaljeet Jee & Gulsan Jee)
"Separate Register & Same Register with Remark" are right in my knowledge !!!!!!!
If the library have a lot of collection of complimentary/specimen copies & gifted/donated books.
And these collection have been growing then it will be better If u prepare a separate Accession register for these named Donated & Gifted Collection.
If the Library have a few Collection of complimentary/specimen copies & gifted/donated books, Then it will better accessioned in the Main Accession Register with Remark.

Dear Priyankajee
If these are general books worth reading you may add to your gift/ donation register if maintained separtely or register in regular acc register only if these books are useful. if thses books are technical and out dated then one should not accssioned it , eiteher send it to depatmental library or sned to misllenious collection/ controled collection.

I follow the method of making remark in accession register but i got confused by the people following method of maintaining separate register for gratis books. Is it a good practice to maintain 2 accession register in same libraray . As per my view there should be only one accession register for one library
