- W2171700260 abstract "Introduction Academic libraries have a pivotal role in transmission of information and knowledge in higher educational institutions. They are to facilitate teaching, learning and research functions of their respective institutions. Academic libraries managers they are expected to acquire, preserve and disseminate information resources that would satisfy needs of both present and future users (Maidabino 2010). Aside from theft, mutilation, hiding and other disruptive measures, borrowing privileges is an important means of giving access to library collections for personal, educational, and socio-economic advancement. Gelfand (2005) in Maidabino (2010), calls library, the only centralized location where new and emerging information technologies can be combined with knowledge resources in a user-focused, services-rich environment that supports today's social and educational patterns of learning, teaching and research. Library services can only be achieved through availability of library collections. Anunobi and Okoye (2008) state that, libraries are faced with hybrid challenges of managing resources and are challenged to acquire necessary skills. One challenge is issue of disruptive behaviour for print and non-print resources. Oyewusi and Oyeboade (2009) discuss importance of access to collections in supporting mission of university. The researchers view importance of good collections as a pointer to need for safety and security for those collections. The rate at which materials disappeared in university libraries can not be overemphasized. According to Jato (2005), scandalous behaviours such as theft and mutilation, hiding library materials, refuse to return over due borrowed materials, drinking and eating in library, among others have become a common occurrence in academic library, if this is not checked, it will lead to serious drought of information materials in library. Most of academic library in developing nations including Nigeria, lack security measures which encourages users opportunity to perform such immoral act. Aside this, library materials are not available in large quantity in some libraries. Moreso, most libraries do not have photocopy facilities for users in case of any need. In some case, when available, incessant change in power supply do not give room for users to make copies of urgent materials needed. This among others tempt users to engage in such disruptive act. According to Momodu (2002), academic libraries have been faced with varying degrees of criminal behavior in use of their resources especially materials and to some extent manpower. The extent of this problem varies from one library to another. In some cases dimension of problem is so restricted that it seems non-existent, in some others dimension is so immense that it causes for serious concern. The findings of a study conducted by Momodu (2002) on delinquent readership in selected urban libraries in Nigeria, revealed that, every library has delinquent client problem and that there is no direct correlation between type of library and extent of problem. The problem seems to be universal. A number of studies (Lorenzen, 1996; Momodu, 2002; Ajegbomogun, 2004) acknowledged that, some individual users of academic libraries display disruptive or criminal behavior within library surroundings and this can cause security problems in library. The problem may not necessarily be in form of mutilation or stealing of collection alone but disruptive users may cause problem to library staffs which can hindered their performance and other necessary duties or functions related to library collections, as indicated by (Lorenzen, 1996). One issues that need to be addressed as regard destructive behaviour in academic libraries is collection security. Ugah (2007), considers collection security violation as formidable obstacles to information access and use. …" @default.
