This will show at a glance the next vacant number to be used, and also, roughly, the total number of books in the library at any given moment, when the withdrawals are counted off. The accession numbers should be written on the back of the title-page of each book, and should also be written against the entry on the invoice, and also, if a donation, in the appropriate column of the donation book. In cases where the stock book is also the order book, the accessions number book can be dispensed with, and the accessions routine book used alone. +------++---------+--------++----------++----------++ | || | || || || | || | First ||Accession || Number of|| | || Source: | Word || Number. || Vols. || | Date.|| Donor or| of || || || | || Vendor. |Invoice.|| || || | || | ++-----+----++-----+----++ | || | ||Lend.|Ref.||Lend.|Ref.|| +------++---------+--------++-----+----++-----+----++ | 1901 || | || | || | || |June 6||Tompkins |Balfour || 1-50|1-25|| 50 | 25 || | „ 12||Donations|See Book||51-56| .. || 6 | .. || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | || +------++---------+--------++-----+----++-----+----++
