The security of
library collections is a critical factor in successful collection stewardship.
Recent collection security incidents from major libraries around the world prove
that now is a vital time to communicate new ideas and experiences in
safeguarding collections. Library collections are there to be used, but how best
to keep them safe? The aim of this
conference is to share information on market intelligence, technology watch,
trend analysis and research into collection security. It will provide a forum to
share experience in managing risks to library collections, investigating
incidents and preventing loss. International speakers from law enforcement
organisations and national libraries as well as leading academics have been
invited. This
conference is hosted by The British Library and sponsored by LIBER, Association
of European Research Libraries.
Proceedings will
be published in LIBER Quarterly. We hope you will
be able to join us for what will be a timely and crucial
conference.
