Abstract

Any library needs to be updated with reading collection as well as services to serve the user community. For this purpose, libraries are procuring books as well as non-book materials. Occasionally libraries may accept books on gratis from the donors. But it is essential to test whether this collection is integral or reduced, such as book theft or any other natural reasons like damage, etc. This is where stock verification is required. Stock verification is an important annual event in any library. This technique is used in any library for entails scanning the data with a barcode scanner, matching the scanned data with the library database, and creating a report using the MS Excel and any LMS, as described here. Generally during the summer break in May and June, the library undertakes a stock verification of its holdings. The limitations of traditional stock verification methods are also discussed in the study.
