Accession number
From LISWiki
(Redirected from Accession numbers)
A number that uniquely identifies each catalog record; a number assigned consecutively to each document or item as it is added to a library collection.
Library databases which show accession numbers in their records can confuse users who believe they have found the item's call number.
