1. Shelf List must be prepared at the time of accessioning.
2. your Question is not clear, while the complete information of a book (bibliographical information) must be included.

Dear Sri VAITHIYANATHAN
A shelf list is essentially a replica of your actual arrangement of materials in racks.
It is basically the catalogues arranged on the basis of Call Numbers.
By browsing through the shelf list, you can identify the actual location of a particular document in the rack.
In our Library we keep them that way..
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
