- W2548602083 abstract "Libraries have over the years been considered as one of the important pillars of civilization (Ebunuwele, YayaK Momodu, 2002; Shashid, 2005; Holt, 2007; Ebunuwele, Yaya & Krubu, 2011). Demonstratively, users are also at risk, as are library materials. Libraries cannot survive without patrons as such patrons should also be protected from unruly behavior by other users or staff. These behaviors may include personal property theft, offensive phone calls, assault against students by staff and fellow users, pickpockets, and indecent exposure amongst others. In the view of Thomas (2000) a safe and secure atmosphere should always be provided for library users. Problem statement Even though, there have been extensive studies concerning security of libraries, they did not look into the security of library users. Studies in libraries the world over and particularly in Ghana, have concentrated on mutilation, vandalism and theft of library materials. Some of such studies include (Broadhead, 2002; Ebunuwele, Yaya & Krubu, 2011; Holt, 2007; Momodu, 2002; Shashid, 2005) Meanwhile, Akor (2013) in his studies on library security indicated that the objective of any library security system should not only focus on library collections and equipment but also on library users. Since the library cannot survive without users, it is imperative to provide a safe and conducive environment for learning and research. Personal observation in the Sam Jonah Library of University of Cape Coast shows that some measures are put in place to ensure to some extent the prevention of theft of library materials by students. Management of the library has invested in instituting measures (such as use of special barcodes, scanners and theft detection machine placed at the exit of the library and placing staff at the exit to detect stolen materials) to reduce significantly the theft of library materials. However, much as management keeps on thinking about securing library materials, much attention should be placed on the security of the library user, especially during extended library services (where the library closes at 10pm and 5am during examinations).There have been cases of phone snatching, stealing of laptops and pen drives of users. It is therefore not out of place to find out the measures that are put in place to ensure the security of users of the library in order to encourage ease during their stay in the library. Thus a scientific enquiry is being done to ascertain the extent to which the security system in the library incorporates users. …" @default.
