AbstractThe security of library collections has many facets, all linked to the physical conservation of the holdings. Librarians focus their, attention on stabilizing the library environment and properly handling the materials, balancing current collections for future use. The most pervasive problem concerning the collection security, however, remains the theft of library collections i.e. Books, Conference papers, Research articles, Project reports, Journals etc. Most academic libraries need electronic security systems to deter theft from circulating the collections and policies to control access to the rare and valuable materials among their holding.
