Dear sir,
You can keep another record register for gratis books or you can maintain the record in one register book along with purchased books and put a remark at the end like "book donated by ....".
Thank you for being a part of this discussion.
Can I put those books on landing rack with general book or mandatory to put those books in reference section ?
Dear Maulik
You can keep a another register for donated books too, and those books can also keep up with all books in rack .
you can register donated book in same Acc register which you use for purchase book,but remark at the end as a donated book,
In my opinion the gifted items to the library should always be maintained separately as Gift Accession register & having different accession no. as per your suitability with explanatory Remarks on the Register. It should never be mix up with the main or Central Library Accession Register. Further if you have space then make a separate Section or Separated Book Shelves where you can only housed the gifted/ donated books, CDs, Tapes, etc.
Thank you Ms. Dharitriji for being a part of the discussion and your valuable suggestion.
Any book gifted either faculty or other wise to be accepted only if it is not a duplicate copy. In my opinion there is no need to make a separate sequence. Only in the remarks column it should be marked as gratis.
