No. It only applies if someone is looking for a specific copy of a particular book title. I personally prefer the ISBN Number for a book. Otherwise the call number is better, if one is looking for a specific topic.

Yes Accession number is better than other kind of identification number, because in ACC No  identify the author name and also identify publish date of the book.
