A Study on the Security Issues of the University Libraries in West Bengal

Abstract

This survey paper aims to find out how far the security is a concern and how the university libraries are lacking in this sector. The paper reviewed the literature on security issues and identified issues are verified through a survey of 21 University Libraries of West Bengal. The study finds out that security is a neglected area in libraries and only 5 university libraries have been able to cross a significant role. There is a need to evaluate the security scenario in the libraries of India and emphasis should be given on such issues. There has been more concern about the service but there is a need to put emphasis on the security management area in the library and information centre.
