Re: [LIS-Forum] Accession Register - Your Views- let us stop discussion.. as it is mandatory requirement of AICTE, UGC and other regulatory bodies
by Manjunath K 02 Jul '16

02 Jul '16

Dear Professional colleagues, I request all our professional colleagues to spend time and energy on professional development rather than on statutory or regulatory requirements, which need to be complied for self-survival. We should remember and accept that library is a supporting unit of an organization in particular academic institution (definitely an important component). All academic institutes including R&D organizations are moderated by regulatory bodies and their guidelines are to be fulfilled without any deviation for their continuation/survival. Library is not an exception to this rule. Whether we like it or not, we need to satisfy the regulatory guidelines. Any violation will have impact on parent organization and it has to face the consequences. Accession register (physical) is one of such mandatory features of AICTE, UGC and other regulatory bodies. To quote an example, we computerized our book collection in early 1990s. In 2005, our authorities suggested to stop handwritten accession register in view of computerized data availability and accordingly we discontinued the activity. But when AICTE team for inspection, they insisted for hand written Accession register. Immediately, we printed new accession register and within six months we prepared the hand written accession register containing 8,000 book records. Since our book database had complete details of book, we took print-out of the same for writing purpose. Later we submitted the evidence of manual accession register to AICTE and till today we are following the procedure without any deviation. Every year, we have to submit last five pages of manual accession register to AICTE. For this purpose, we go for jumbo Xeroxing of AR pages. Computerization, OPAC, etc. are all considered as facilities and cannot be treated as a replacement. However, there could be some exceptions to this rule. As most the members of different LIS forums are from academic institutes, it is our primary responsibility to go with parent body to satisfy regulatory guidelines. We need safeguard our institute's image and reputation by meeting the regulatory guidelines of approval/accrediting bodies. Manjunath -------------- Dr. Manjunatha, K |Chief Librarian| T.A.
