Security and Crime in Health Sciences Libraries in the Southern United States

Pages 37-48 | Accepted 01 Sep 1998, Published online: 13 Oct 2008
 

ABSTRACT

Crime is a part of life that has become more evident in libraries through reports in journals, newspapers, television, and other media. As the result of a sharing session, a survey was conducted of the libraries composing the South Central Chapter of the Medical Library Association. This survey looked at the incidence of major and minor crimes in the libraries and their institutions; security measures, regulations, or policies that were in effect prior to these or having been initiated since; and the effect the crimes and/or security measures have had on the institution and its employees.
