Dear Ms. Geetha M.
Thanks for your post.
As you can understand that the matter depends upon the nature and type of the collection, their usage and housekeeping process.
In case they consists only hard copy books & reports, you can just record like general Accession Register; however, if they include manuscripts &/or materials in different languages or non printed materials ( e.g. say, for instance you have in your collection a small voice archive which includes some rare gramophone records of M.S. Subhalakshmi, naturally, you have to devise your special collection register accordingly!!), you have to specifically mention them and your Register should be so devised.
The issue registers should also should be devised in the same way specially if the circulation is continuous.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray
