Special Collections Library Security: An Internal Audit Perspective.

Chadwick, William E.

Journal of Library Administration, v25 n1 p15-31 1998

Because of the high incidence of special-collections thefts and embezzlements during the past decade, library management must reassess its "user friendly" philosophy for both library patrons and employees. An internal control system is described. Causes of theft, and policies and procedures for protecting the collection are discussed. (AEF)
