Guide to Security Considerations and Practices for Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collection Libraries

The ACRL (Association of College and Research Libraries) has long updated its guidelines for security and response to theft in special library collections. This volume, edited by Wilkie, Jr. (former chair of the RBMS Security Committee), provides a more comprehensive text than just the guidelines. Contributions include practical security concerns, such as burglar alarm systems and security guards, as well as procedures like conducting audit trails and marking rare book and manuscript materials. Four chapters on dealing with theft close out the book. It includes three lengthy appendixes, one of which presents a history of the Blumberg case and survey, where 21,000 books were recovered following an FBI raid.
