ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 3 6 0 / C&RL News ■ May 2002 ACRL STANDARDS & GUIDELINES Guidelines regarding thefts in libraries A draft by The Security C om m ittee o f ACRL's Rare Books and M an uscript Section Section I. Preventing Library T h e ft A. A p p o in t a Library S e c u r ity O ffic e r (LSO) The LSO should be given authority by the library and the parent institution to act on th e ir b e h a lf w h ile w o rk in g w ith th e institution’s legal counsel a n d security force. Consult Section II of the “ACRL Guidelines for the Security of Rare Books, M anuscripts, and O ther Special Collec­ tions” for a fuller description of the LSO’s role, available from the ACRL office and published in C&RL News 60,9 (1999); see also the RBMS W eb site/Guidelines. B. Form a Security P la n n in g Group A Security Planning Group, m ade up of the LSO and other appropriate personnel, will be responsible for developing a secu­ rity plan to prevent theft and a detailed plan of action to follow w hen a theft is discovered. The plan may be a part of the institution’s disaster plan or constitute a separate plan. The plans should not be public docum ents (e.g., they should not be posted on a W eb site), but accessible only to appropriate library and institutional personnel. C. C om m unicate w ith th e public relation s d ep artm en t Establish a working relationship with the institution’s public relations office so that timely and accurate announcem ents can be m ade to the press w hen a theft is dis­ covered. D. C om m unicate w ith la w e n fo r c e m e n t agen cies Establish contact and foster good w ork­ ing relations with law enforcem ent agen­ cies— institutional, local, state, an d /o r fed­ eral— and determ ine w hich of them has original jurisdiction over the library (e.g., campus security, local or state police, etc.) a n d u n d e r w h ic h circ u m stan c e s th ey should be called. The library should m ain­ tain a list of contacts in each level of law enforcem ent and discuss the plan of ac­ tion with each. (See Appendix I for “Net­ working Resources Directory for Protec­ tion and Recovery.”) The FBI, as well as U.S. Customs or Interpol, might becom e involved if stolen items are suspected of being smuggled into or out of the coun­ try.

(See Appendix II for “Draft of Model Legislation: Theft and Mutilation of Library Materials.”) C&RL News ■ M ay 2 0 0 2 / 361 History of the guidelines The last revision of the “ACRL Guidelines Regarding Thefts in Libraries” was published in draft form in C&RL News 55, 5 (1994) and approved in June of that year. Just prior to the 1999 ALA Annual Conference, the ACRL Standards and Accreditation Commit­ tee a n d the RBMS Executive Committee asked the RBMS Security Committee to n o ­ tify them of whether the guidelines required revision. After a review and discussion of the guide­ lines at the Security Committee’s 1999 An­ nual Conference meeting, both the ACRL Standards and Accreditation Committee and the RBMS Executive Committee w ere noti­ fied that the guidelines would be revised. The guidelines w ere further discussed and revised at the 2000 Midwinter meeting and at the 2000 Annual Conference. In the fall of 2000, a draft o f the revision was m ounted on the RBMS Web site. At the 2001 Midwin­ ter meeting, additional changes w ere pro­ posed at an open hearing, which w ere dis­ cussed and evaluated at the Security Com­ mittee’s meeting. Those recommendations that the committee decided should be in­ corporated into the guidelines are reflected in the docum ent published below. These guidelines are available on the Web at http://www.ala.oig/acrl/guides/tlieftdrft.html. F. R eport to library- an d b o o k a n d m a n u ­ script-related grou p s 1. Inform the local rare book, m anu­ script, and second-hand book sellers of the library’s collecting areas and establish a procedure for quickly informing them of any theft that has occurred in your li­ brary. Thieves sometim es try to sell stolen property quickly, and sellers with know l­ edge of the libraiy’s collections can rec­ ognize, or at least be suspicious of, these genres of materials w hen they are offered. 2. Report the nam e of the LSO to the designated m em ber of the RBMS Security Committee. Keep this person inform ed if successive LSOs are appointed. 3. Establish liaisons w ith appropriate Internet electronic mailing lists and na­ tional stolen and missing book databases (see Appendix I for “Networking Resources Directory for Protection and Recovery”) so that thefts can be reported immediately u p o n discovery. G. K n ow an d im p le m e n t p r e v e n tiv e s e ­ cu rity m ea su res in th e library 1. Im plem ent the “ACRL Guidelines for the Security of Rare Book, Manuscript, and O ther Special Collections,” available from the ACRL office and published in C&RL News (.see RBMS W eb site/G uidelines). 2. Assure that a unique ow nership mark appears on all of the library’s holdings; this will provide proof that materials, if stolen, belong to the library. RBMS strongly advocates the im plem entation of its mark­ ing guidelines for rare materials (see “ACRL Guidelines for the Security of Rare Book, Manuscript, and Other Special Collections,” Appendix I). RBMS also strongly advocates describing distinctive characteristics of in­ dividual copies in cataloging notes as an­ oth er m eans of identifying appropriate items. 3. W hen providing com plete catalog records at the point of receipt is not p os­ sible, som e form o f ow nership record, how ever brief, is recom m ended. It should contain a brief author/title statem ent and a description of at least several copy-spe­ cific features (e.g., binding, marks of p re­ vious ownership, completeness, and book­ seller a n d auction house descriptions). These records of purchase, gift, and prov­ enance are especially important w hen m a­ terials are going to be added to a catalog­ ing backlog. 4. E lim in a te c a ta lo g in g b a c k lo g s . Though difficult, this is an essential step in enhancing the security of a library’s col­ lections. Even if the backlog cannot be entirely eliminated, each library should reduce its backlog as m uch as it can. Sto­ len books that have b e e n described in detail are far m ore easily identified and recovered than those that are not. Use the catalog record to describe copy-specific characteristics and bibliographic informa­ tion that helps to distinguish am ong edi­ tions, issues, and states. Create m achine- readable records for local public access and the national bibliographic databases. Participate in bibliographic projects that record detailed bibliographic descriptions. http://www.ala.oig/acrl/guides/tlieftdrft.html 362 / C&RL News ■ M ay 2002 5. Conduct regular inventories o f both cataloged a n d u n c atalo g ed collections. This task is m ost effectively perform ed by staff m e m b e rs w o rk in g in tea m s a n d should be conducted on a random basis. Proceeding through th e collection in a predictable m anner is not wise, since it m ay allow thieves to tem porarily replace stolen materials. A sim ultaneous inventory of shelf list cards is also recom m ended, if this is n o t already a part of the procedure being follow ed. Inventories co n d u c te d even in small stages are valuable since they may reveal thefts (as well as m isshelved books) and serve as a deterrent to any potential in-house thieves. 6. In Special Collections, record and verify (with p h o to ID) every u se r’s nam e and address, and require them to com ­ plete a p a p e r or electronic call slip and registration form, and to sign a reading room log. W hether h o u sed in the collec­ tion or in the institutional archive, they should be kep t for at least five years in order to be available to law enforcem ent authorities if thefts or vandalism later come to light. In o rd er to safeguard reader con­ fidentiality, access to filed or archived call slips should be restricted to the collection curator, division chief, and library direc­ tor. Library policies and practices, e sp e ­ cially in the course of investigating p o s­ sible thefts, should not violate applicable federal, state, and local confidentiality laws. Library security officers should be familiar with all applicable laws governing p erson­ ally identifiable inform ation about library use. Library policy should require law e n ­ forcem ent officials to present a sub p o en a su p p o rtin g a d em an d to exam ine user records, such as call slips a n d registration logs. If the dem and is m ade under the fed­ eral Patriot Act, a subpoena is not required, but a w arrant is, and library policy should require that it be produced. 7. Follow the m anagem ent practices rec­ om m en d ed in “ACRL Standards for Ethi­ cal Conduct for Rare Book, Manuscript, a n d Special Collections Librarians, with Guidelines for Institutional Practice in Sup­ port of the Standards,” 2nd edition, 1994, available from the ACRL office, published in C&RL News 54,4 (1993), and posted on the RBMS W eb site. 8. Review materials in the library’s gen­ eral collections and o p e n stacks for p o s­ sible transfer to special collections or to a caged, limited access section of the library. Library staff sh o u ld consult th e “ACRL Guidelines on the Selection of General Col­ lection Materials for Transfer to Special Col­ lections,” 2nd edition, available from the ACRL office and published in C&RL News 54,11 (1993), revised on June 23, 1999 and posted on the RBMS Web site. Some librar­ ies have identified rare materials in the open stacks in the course of special projects, such as reporting to the English Short Title Cata­ logue, or working through a collection d e ­ velopment policy using the Research Librar­ ies Group Conspectus. 9. A recent theft or act of vandalism may give an indication of a building area, sub­ ject, or artifactual genre that will be the tar­ get of future theft or mutilation. If it is ap­ propriate, transfer to a m ore secure area materials related to those already stolen or mutilated. Remember that subject relation­ ships may cross genre lines. The theft or mutilation of printed books or manuscripts may indicate that other genres of materials containing similar subject matter will be­ come the targets of thieves and vandals. 10. Maintain a shelflist, preferably in p a ­ p e r form for special collections, in a se­ cure area of the libraiy. If the shelflist is electronic, it should be equipped with soft­ w are that m akes it secure from tam pering and be duplicated in a backup tape stored off site. Since the shelflist tells the librar­ ian precisely w here each book, pam phlet, tape, CD, etc. should be located, a n d b e ­ cause it contains copy-specific information a b o u t special co llections m aterials, its m aintenance and security are vital for d e ­ tecting and recovering thefts. 11. Reader use of materials should be con­ fined to a secure area m onitored by staff trained in surveillance. Consult the “ACRL Guidelines for the Security of Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Other Special Collections,” Section IV, for additional guidelines related to reading room security. 12. Install security cameras that cover Special Collections reading rooms and any access points that security professionals d eem appropriate. If security cameras are supplied w ith tapes, the tapes should be retained for at least one month. 13. In conform ity with applicable laws, form ulate a policy regarding the physical detention of suspects. C&RL News ■ M ay 2002 / 363 Section II. Reacting to Library T h e ft Every case of theft poses u n iq u e chal­ lenges, and m any details of a library’s re­ sponse to a theft must be left to the judge­ m ent of its LSO and its Security Planning Group. H ow ever, these are the general guidelines that ACRL recommends. A. If y o u ob serve or h ave b e e n alerted to a th eft in progress Im m ediate actions • Discreetly call for security personnel or the police (or signal a colleague to do so) and engage the suspect in nonthreatening conversation in the hope that the suspect will remain in the reading room until help arrives. • Do not confront a suspect with accusa­ tions. Behave with the suspect as you would with any patron, requesting that circulated materials be returned before the suspect leaves. If materials are missing, politely ask for them. The suspect may have made an honest mistake. If the suspect denies that s/he ever had the materials or that they were returned, do not press the issue and do not put yourself at risk of physical harm. Fol­ low your local policy regarding the physi­ cal detention o f suspects. • If the suspect is about to leave and help has not yet arrived, try to verify his/her reg­ istration information (e.g., contact a listed reference or call information to verify a resi­ dential address) before s/h e leaves. • If a police officer finds reasonable cause that a theft has occurred, insist that the of­ ficer place the suspect under arrest. (Laws regarding grounds for arrest vary from state to state. Know the relevant laws of your state.) If there is evidence of theft (e.g., li­ brary materials hidden on the suspect’s person), do not agree to the suspect’s re­ lease in return for the suspect’s assurances that s/h e will return to face charges. If the officer will not make an arrest, attempt to persuade the officer to detain the suspect until the officer can verify his/her identity and place of residence. • At the first opportunity, describe in writ­ ing the suspect’s physical appearance and an account of the entire event as w itnessed a n d /o r related. This docum ent should be presented to law enforcem ent authorities w hen they arrive. Do not in any w ay alter materials that might be considered evidence. • Notify the LSO. B. I f y o u d is c o v e r a th e ft after it h a s o c ­ curred N otification Imm ediately notify the LSO w h o will: • Notify appropriate administrative officers • Notify and sem e as liaison w ith institu­ tional security personnel as well as local law enforcem ent personnel • Notify institutional Public Relations Office G athering e v id e n c e The LSO will com pile a list of missing items. (This does not m ean that the entire library or collection needs to be invento­ ried.) H ow ever, after the im m ediate steps listed below have b e e n taken, it is sug­ gested that works similar to those that have b e e n stolen b e inventoried (see Section I.G.9, above). In consultation w ith the above groups of notified persons, gather all available evidence of theft. Such evi­ dence should include: • detailed, copy-specific descriptions of missing materials, • chain of custody documentation for miss­ ing materials (including call slips or p h o ­ tocopies of them ), • indications of unauthorized physical ac­ cess to restricted areas, • report on any missing shelflist cards and call slips, and database tam pering, and • report on any indication of systematic patterns of loss of materials A ction p la n The LSO, in concert with appropriate li­ brary and institutional adm inistration per­ sonnel, public relations personnel, secu­ rity personnel, law enforcem ent (local, state, and federal, if necessary), and legal counsel will formulate a course o f action that should include the following steps (in an o rd er to be determ ined by those re­ sponsible for the process): • consultation and cooperation with judi­ cial and law enforcem ent efforts on b e ­ half of the library, • notification of appropriate stolen and missing books databases and other ap p ro ­ priate netw orks (see A ppendix I for “Net­ w orking Resources Directory for Protec­ tion and Recovery”), • notification o f local a n d regional b o o k ­ sellers a n d appropriate specialist sellers, • transfer of vulnerable items to a m ore secure location, 364 / C&RL News ■ M ay 2002 • arrangem ent of appraisals u p o n discov­ ery of missing items and, again, if they have b e e n returned dam aged, • questioning of staff regarding any suspi­ cious behavior by users or other persons, • preparation of regular com m unications to staff about progress in the case, consis­ tent with the investigation’s integrity, • preparation of new s releases, • preparation of responses by authorized li­ brary and institutional representatives to pos­ sible questions posed by the news media, • instructions to all library and institutional staff on how to respond to new s media inquiries, and • m aintenance of internal record of ac­ tions taken during the case’s progress, from its discovery to its final disposition.

APPENDIX II The draft of p roposed legislation presented below may have to be m odified in order to conform with federal and state laws regard­ ing search and seizure. Also, the recourse to civil law that is available to a detained sus­ pect may differ from state to state, and the draft legislation may have to be m odified in order to m eet such potential challenges. How­ ever, the w ording definitions should be ad­ hered to; they have been form ulated with the assistance of legal counsel. Nation-wide con­ formity to the definition of essential termi­ nology in criminal legislation is desirable.

In order to assure that re­ search materials are available for public use, it is the policy of this state to provide librar­ ies and their em ployees and agents with le­ gal protection to ensure security for their col­ lections. It is the policy of this state to affirm that local, state, and federal prosecution of crimes affecting books or other library p ro p ­ erty is executed with the same degree of dili­ gence as is exercised in prosecution of crimes affecting other forms of property.

D e fin itio n o f term s “Library” m eans any public library; any library of an educational, benevolent, hereditary, historical, or eleem osynary institution, orga­ nization, or society; any museum; any reposi­ tory of public or institutional records. “Book or other library property” means any book, plate, picture, photograph, print, painting, drawing, map, new spaper, m agazine, pam ­ phlet, broadside, m anuscript, docum ent, let­ ter, public record, microform, sound record­ ing, a u d io v isu a l m aterial in any form at, m agnetic or other tape, catalog card or cata­ log record, electronic data processing record, artifact, or other docum entary, written, or printed materials, or equipm ent, regardless of physical form or characteristics, belonging to, on loan to, or otherw ise in the custody of a library. P r o p o se d w o r d in g S ectio n I.a. Any p e rso n w h o willfully, maliciously, or w antonly writes upon, injures, defaces, tears, cuts, mutilates, or destroys any book, docu­ ment, or other library property belonging to, on loan to, or otherw ise in the custody of a library is guilty of a crime. S ection I.b. The willful concealm ent of a book or other library property u p o n the person or am ong the belongings of the person or concealed u p o n the person or am ong the belongings of another while still on the prem ises of a li­ brary shall be considered prima facie evidence of intent to commit larceny thereof. S ection I.c. The willful removal of a b ook o r other library property in contravention of library regula­ tions shall be considered prima facie evidence of intent to commit larceny thereof. S ectio n I.d. The willful alteration or destruction of library ow nership records, electronic or card catalog records retained apart from or applied directly to a b o o k or other library property shall be considered prima facie evidence of intent to commit larceny of a b ook or other library property. S ectio n ĪI.a. An adult agent or em ployee of a library or that library’s parent institution, w hether or not that em ployee or agent is part of a security force, w ho has reasonable grounds to sus­ pect that a person committed, was comm it­ ting, or w as attem pting to comm it the acts described in Section I may detain the sus­ pect. Immediately u pon detention, the library em ployee shall identify him self/herself and state the reason for his/her action. If, after the initial confrontation with the suspect, the adult agent or library em ployee has reason­ able grounds to believe that at the time of detention that the person com m itted, was committing, or was attem pting to commit the crimes set forth in Section I, said em ployee or agent may detain such a person for a time sufficient to sum m on a peace officer to the library. Said detention must be accom plished in a reasonable m anner w ithout unreason­ able restraints or excessive force and may take place only on the prem ises of the library w here the alleged crime occurred. Library prem ises include the interior of a building, structure, or other enclosure in w hich a li­ brary facility is located; the exterior ap p u rte­ nances to such building structure, or other enclosure; and the land on which such build­ ing, structure, or other enclosure is located. Any person so d etained by an em ployee or agent of a library shall prom ptly be asked to identify himself/herself by nam e and address. O nce placed u n d e r detention, the suspect shall not be required to provide any other inform ation n o r shall any w ritten a n d /o r signed statem ent be elicited from the suspect until a police officer has taken the suspect into custody. The said employee or agent may, how ever, exam ine said property which the em ployee or agent has reasonable grounds to believe was unlawfully taken as set forth in Section Lb a n d /o r I.c, or injured or de­ stroyed as set forth in Section La a n d /o r I.d. Should the detained suspect refuse to sur­ render the item for examination, a search may be m ade only of packages, shopping bags, handbags, or other property in the immedi­ ate possession of the person detained; no c lo th in g w o rn b y th e s u s p e c t m ay b e searched. 366 / C&RL News ■ M ay 2002 The activation of an electronic article surveil­ lance device as a result of a person exiting the prem ises or an area within the prem ises of a library w here an electronic article sur­ veillance device is located shall constitute probable cause for the detention o f such per­ son by such library or agent or em ployee of the library, provided that such person is d e ­ tained only in a reasonable m anner and only for such time as is necessary for an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the acti­ vation of the device, and provided that clear and visible notice is posted at each exit and location within the prem ises w here such d e ­ vice is located indicating the presence of an antitheft device. For purposes of this section, “electronic article surveillance device” means an electronic device designed and operated for the purpose of detecting the removal from the prem ises or a protected area within such prem ises, of any specially m arked or tagged book or other library property. S ectio n II.b. For the purposes of Section II.a, “reasonable g rounds” shall include, but not be limited to, know ledge that a person has concealed or injured a b ook or other library property while on the prem ises of the library or the inability of the suspect to produce the library material for w hich there is a docum ent proving that person had used but had not returned said material. S e c tio n n .c . In detaining a person w ho the em ployee or agent of the library has reasonable grounds to believe has committed, was committing, or was attempting to commit any of the crimes set forth in Section I, the said em ployee or a g e n t m ay u se a r e a s o n a b le a m o u n t of nondeadly force w h e n and only w hen such force is necessary to protect the em ployee or agent or to prevent the escape of the person being detained or the loss of the library’s prop­ erty.

Future of Academic Librarianship The Focus on the Future Task Force would like to announce an Open Forum on the Future of Academic Librarianship. The Open Forum will be held on Sunday afternoon, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. This important event will be a part of the data collection effort the task force is undertaking to create the first top ten issues list to be published in a fall issue of C&RL News. The Open Forum on Academic Library Futures will be key to the collection of member thoughts on the big questions facing librarianship. We will work in groups to identify the issues beyond daily work-life and consider the profession from a larger perspective. Issues related to the higher education environment, to the organization of libraries, to collection issues, or to information legislative issues, among others, might be discussed. Among the questions to be considered are: 1. What are the key trends and developments that academic librarians need to pay attention to? 2. What issues are so serious that they might keep you awake at night? 3. How well prepared are w e to address the big questions? Please make plans to attend the Open Forum in Atlanta on Sunday afternoon. We need your help and your good ideas. C&RL News ■ M ay 2002 / 367 Structure Bookmarks 360 / C&RL News ■ May 2002 ACRL STANDARDS & GUIDELINES A draftby The Security Committee of ACRL's Rare Books and Manuscript Section Section I. Preventing Library TheftA. Appoint a Library Security Officer (LSO)The LSO should be given authority by the library and the parent institution to act on their behalf while working with the institution’s legal counsel and security force. Consult Section II of the “ACRL Guidelines for the Security of Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Other Special Collec­tions” for a fuller description of the LSO’s role, available from the ACRL office and published in C&RL News 60,9 (1999); see also the RBMS Web site/Gu D. Communicate with law enforcement agenciesEstablish contact and foster good work­ing relations with law enforcement agen­cies—institutional, local, state, and/or fed­eral—and determine which of them has original jurisdiction over the library (e.g., campus security, local or state police, etc.) and under which circumstances they should be called. The library should main­tain a list of contacts in each level of law enforcement and discuss the plan of ac­tion with each. (See Appendix I for “Net­working Resou C&RL News ■ May 2002 / 361 History of the guidelines The last revision of the “ACRL Guidelines Regarding Thefts in Libraries” was published in draft form in C&RL News 55, 5 (1994) and approved in June of that year. Just prior to the 1999 ALA Annual Conference, the ACRL Standards and Accreditation Commit­tee and the RBMS Executive Committee asked the RBMS Security Committee to no­tify them of whether the guidelines required revision.After a review and discussion of the guide­lines at the Security Committee’s 1999 An­nual Conference meeting, both the ACRL Stand fied that the guidelines would be revised. The guidelines were further discussed and revised at the 2000 Midwinter meeting and at the 2000 Annual Conference. In the fall of 2000, a draft of the revision was mounted on the RBMS Web site. At the 2001 Midwin­ter meeting, additional changes were pro­posed at an open hearing, which were dis­cussed and evaluated at the Security Com­mittee’s meeting. Those recommendations that the committee decided should be in­corporated into the guidelines are reflected in the d F. Report to library- and book and manu­script-related groups1. Inform the local rare book, manu­script, and second-hand book sellers of the library’s collecting areas and establish a procedure for quickly informing them of any theft that has occurred in your li­brary. Thieves sometimes try to sell stolen property quickly, and sellers with knowl­edge of the libraiy’s collections can rec­ognize, or at least be suspicious of, these genres of materials when they are offered.2. Report the name of the LSO to the Guidelines for the Security of Rare Book, Manuscript, and Other Special Collections,” Appendix I). RBMS also strongly advocates describing distinctive characteristics of in­dividual copies in cataloging notes as an­other means of identifying appropriate items.3. When providing complete catalog records at the point of receipt is not pos­sible, some form of ownership record, however brief, is recommended. It should contain a brief author/title statement and a description of at least several copy-spe­cific fea 362 / C&RL News ■ May 2002 5. Conduct regular inventories of both cataloged and uncataloged collections. This task is most effectively performed by staff members working in teams and should be conducted on a random basis. Proceeding through the collection in a predictable manner is not wise, since it may allow thieves to temporarily replace stolen materials. A simultaneous inventory of shelf list cards is also recommended, if this is not already a part of the procedure being followed. Inventories conducted even in small stages are va sible transfer to special collections or to a caged, limited access section of the library. Library staff should consult the “ACRL Guidelines on the Selection of General Col­lection Materials for Transfer to Special Col­lections,” 2nd edition, available from the ACRL office and published in C&RL News 54,11 (1993), revised on June 23, 1999 and posted on the RBMS Web site. Some librar­ies have identified rare materials in the open stacks in the course of special projects, such as reporting to the English Shor C&RL News ■ May 2002 / 363 Section II. Reacting to Library Theft Every case of theft poses unique chal­lenges, and many details of a library’s re­sponse to a theft must be left to the judge­ment of its LSO and its Security Planning Group. However, these are the general guidelines that ACRL recommends.A. If you observe or have been alerted to a theft in progressImmediate actions• Discreetly call for security personnel or the police (or signal a colleague to do so) and engage the suspect in nonthreatening conversation in the hope that B.
