Tips and Tricks for Using Excel as a Library Accession Register



An accession register is the permanent record of all objects which are, or have been, part of your museum's permanent collections. It is the most important document in the museum's documentation system.




library accession register format in excel




The accession number is composed of the year of purchase (or the year you started your library) and the current number within that year, for instance 87: 105 refers to the 105th book received in 1987. The first book received in 1988 will the number 88:1.


Here is a guide to setting up and running a primary school library. It covers the essentials for running a library with limited resources human and physical resources (no trained librarians, no budgets etc). It covers information and advice on the why, what and how to essentials for setting up a library.


Non Fiction includes information materials such as books on people, places and things. These books are written on different subject areas such as the textbooks on health, social science etc. To help library users find the books they want, it is recommended to organise all information items into different subject areas. For example, put all books on trees and forests on bookshelves close to each other.


You can decide on your own rules as to how many letters will form the label code. As long as it makes sense and works it should be fine but it is important to maintain some consistency. So every book will have a label code on the spine of the book. Once you have finished your classification, you can create a chart/table or a knowledge tree to display this information in your library for everyone to refer to.


It is essential to encourage children to enjoy reading. For primary school library it is important to organise the the fiction books in a manner so it is easy for students to browse and select books for their appropriate reading levels. A good idea is to divide the titles into skill levels such as beginner, inter-mediate and advanced and colour code them for easy access. You can use colour stickers or dots. You just need to put the colour codes on the books while your register will have the other details on the different ability levels so students are not discouraged. Apart from this all fiction books can be classified by the code as shown:-


Every item that a school library has or receives must be accounted for. One way of doing this is by creating an accession register that is a record of all items held in a school library collection. Every item should be given a unique number when it arrives at the school. This number must be written down both in the register and on individual items. It is essential that you give every book unique accession number and enter them in the register. Because every book is given a unique number it will always be possible to identify a particular book. This is useful for borrowing purposes as any damage or loss can be tracked via the register.


The manual method of doing an accession register is time consuming and labour intensive so we will opt for an easier method and use computers to create a spreadsheet to put all the details together. What I am proposing is to create a register with all the details and then create appropriate spine labels for reference, non-fiction and fiction titles so all the information is held in one place for easy access and retrieval.


Suppose you have records of your library in excel data sheet format and want them to import into Koha. But how will you do this? Koha will not let you import excel records directly. Well here is a very simple solution for you which will let you import your excel records in Koha easily. First, we will convert excel file into Marc file and then will import it into Koha.


Q: What is a data? A: Data is recorded information, regardless of form or method of recording. Q: What is a data item description (DID)? A: A DID is a standardization document that defines the data required of a contractor. The DID specifically defines the data content, format, and intended use. Q: What is a DID Approval Authority (DID-AA)? A: There is an assigned DID-AA in each Military Department and some Defense Agencies who are delegated responsibility to approve new, revised, and cancelled DIDs in their respective Military Department/Agency. For OSD organizations and Defense Agencies with no DID-AA assigned, DSPO serves as the DID-AA. DID-AAs, along with contact information, are listed in the Standards-Related Document-1 (SD-1), and in the DOD Contacts tab within ASSIST. Q: Where can I obtain a copy of a specific DID? A: If you know the DID number, you can use the ASSIST Quick Search. Simply enter the 5-digit DID number (do not use revision letters) in the search filed labeled [Document Number:] and click on the [Submit] button. Q: Is there a website that lists all DIDs? A: All active and canceled DIDs are indexed in the ASSIST database. To print a list of all DIDs, log into ASSIST. Select the "DIDs" tab at the top of the page to get to the "DID Search" menu. This search screen allows you to generate a list of active DIDs, cancelled DIDs, or all DIDs (both active and cancelled). This same screen allows you to filter results by standardization area, preparing service, preparing activity, or by using the "find term" field. The resultant list is generated in HTML, but may be exported and printed in Adobe pdf or Microsoft Excel format. (Note: If you have never used ASSIST, you will need to register for a user account.) Q: What is the DID Selector Tool? A: This tool is available in ASSIST. To access it, log into ASSIST. Select the "DIDs" tab at the top of the page to get to the "DID Search" menu. In the "Select Method" dropdown field, select "DID Selector." This tool is intended to help users select active DIDs that have been identified by subject matter experts for consideration according to one of three priorities: 1=Seriously Consider; 2=Consider; and 3=Consider (narrow application). In addition to a priority, some DIDs also have a Military Department-specific consideration. Users may search for DIDs and filter search results by Product Support Element, Work Breakdown Structure, or Standardization Area. Definitions of these filters may be viewed using the links provided within the tool. Users may also search for a specific word or phrase that appears in the Title, Scope, or Considerations column of the DID Selector search results. Q: Where can I find an online copy of DoD 5010.12-L, "Acquisition Management Systems and Data Requirements Control List (AMSDL)"? A: The AMSDL, which formerly listed all DIDs, was canceled in 2007. ASSIST is the official source for all Department of Defense repetitive use DIDs.

Advancements in open source, free integrated library management system (LMS) for cataloging, circulation, flexible reporting and automated library services especially in academic communities has gained extreme importance. The purpose of this study is to provide solution to a distinct problem about automatic generation of multiple copies for unique titles leading to title mismatch and duplication in biblio-records related to university collection of books. The aim of this paper is to provide solution to generate the unique titles report in any large size university library using KOHA, without loss of accession history or empirical data. This paper also demonstrates the smooth transition from one library software to KOHA.
