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 ....".

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.

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.
