Accession policies Bobbye L. McCarter 25 Aug 1998 17:34 UTC

I am interested in knowing if any of you continue to accession volumes in
your libraries - monographs and/or serials.  If yes, what is your
justification for this step in the processing procedure?  With so much
being automated today - including the keeping of statistics on additions,
deletions, etc. of holdings, I am trying to look realistically at the old
procedures to see what steps are really still necessary - in order words,
just because it has always been done, do we need to continue to do it just
for that reason?

Any input would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Bobbye
