3 2 Libraries  Special Collections – many of these contain rare or one of a kind items that must be protected. Some have special environmental requirements.  Other concerns: Theft or damage to books, CDs, videos Disorderly behavior Fire

4 3 Library Security Measures  Electronic marking of books  Have security personnel supervise the library  Provide photocopy equipment to discourage theft, although library personnel should do the photocopying as books can be damaged.

19 18 Educational Facility Safety: K-12  Security needs vary depending on the size of the school  Vandalism is a serious problem for most schools.  Access needs to be controlled to prevent dropouts, etc. from coming onto school grounds.

21 20 Educational Facility Safety: K-12  Safety measures: Access control Lighting Security personnel present and accessible

22 21 Educational Facility Safety: Colleges and Universities  These facilities are by their nature very open environments. This makes them a security nightmare, since it immediately reduces the effectiveness of a key security component: access control.
