1.2 Statement Of The Problem
The importance of information resources
cannot be overemphasized as users depend on library resources for
knowledge and new ideas to enhance intellectual development
(Ajegbomogun, 2004). As a result, university libraries face varying
degrees of delinquency in the use of their resources. The extent of this
security problem varies from one university library to another.
Mishandling, vandalism of the facilities such as CD ROM, DVD, and
magnetic tape can easily crack when it's not handled with care or falls
on the ground. The CD ROM, DVD, may damage and information on it can
loss. Accessibility of the information services cannot be possible as a
result of data loss by mishandling of CD ROM, DVD, magnetic tape among
others. Theft of books, journals, CD ROM, microfilm, computers and other
library collections, diminish materials in the library. These crimes,
which are committed by some users, have deprived many users from fully
achieving their information needs as it has led to loss of many valuable
materials in university libraries (Ani, 2010). Hence the need for
measures to be taken to protect and preserve them to avoid complete loss
of materials in university libraries. This study therefore is aimed at
investigating security challenges and coping strategies of university
libraries for effective service delivery in Enugu.
1.3 Objective Of the Study
The
study aims at investigating security challenges and coping strategies
of university libraries for effective service delivery in Enugu.
Specifically, the study seeks to:
1. Identify the security challenges hindering effective service delivery in university libraries in Enugu.
2. Determine the types of security apparatus adopted by university libraries in Enugu for supporting service delivery.
3.
Find out the challenges associated with the implementation of library
security for effective service delivery in university libraries in
Enugu.
4. Identify the strategies to enhance the implementation of
library security for effective service delivery in university libraries
in Enugu.
