Standard security specifications of Library facilities. Case study: Library of the School of Sciences of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
Summary:
This thesis will investigate and will highlight what the standard
specifications of the security
facilities in libraries should be. When we refer to security, we mean both
security of
personnel and security of the materials (mostly prints) available on the site.
The security
concerns of staff can be treated more efficiently when the plumbing and
electrical
installations are working properly and facilities for handling and storing
materials are
designed and equipped based on the specified standards.
In the introduction we provide the necessary definitions
and explain the kinds of disasters.In the second chapter the main topic is
developed, mostly through the collected bibliography.
Furthermore, all the information related to our work is presented. The third
chapter deals
with the electrical installations and the protection of equipment and
facilities from disasters.Reference to environmental conditions prevailing in
the building is also made.The fourth section deals with the methodology chosen
to pursue in addressing this issue. The purpose of the chapter is to make a
brief mention of the sources used for the preparation of the dissertation. The
investigation was based primarily on the collection of data based on
the bibliography.The next section deals with the case study of the Library of
the School of Sciences. Our research results are presented, along with the
gathered findings.In the sixth and final chapter we refer to the conclusions
that were drawn from this research.A final assessment of our results is
provided, along with and various proposals that could be adopted by that
specific library.
