Creating a Safe Haven for University Students: How Are We Doing?
Sanders, Mark
Journal of Access Services, v9 n4 p200-211 2012
Too frequently, and often too late, academic librarians learn of patron experiences involving problem patrons, misdemeanor criminal activity, or poorly secured areas. Regrettably, these experiences can irrevocably diminish perceptions of access to the vibrant learning spaces and services offered by our institutions. This article assesses the current state of security personnel staffing and patron security issues at 25 public, four-year universities in two southeastern states. (Contains 2 tables.)
