The Accession Question: Putting Your Library in (Numerical) Order

In category Resources

In this online session, members share information about using accession or acquisition numbers to organize music. You may be considering switching from an alphabetical system, merely curious, or have your own experiences to contribute. We’ll cover topics such why you may want to consider using accession numbers, how to get started, numbering considerations, how to handle gaps, address risks, and the rewards.
