Segurança física e eletrônica de acervos de bibliotecas universitárias de Maceió/Alagoas

Abstract

With each passing moment, library collections become larger and more technological. Based on this principle, an important aspect that needs to be studied in more depth has risen, beyond maintenance in regards to the course of nature. This work aims to present, evaluate and point out a different cause for the natural deterioration of library collections: man, and how to fight against the damaging effects on these collections. The research is based on a questionnaire that covers some important points for analyzing how the security system behaves regarding this factor and how the researched institution reacts to these actions. It was found that this topic is still underanalyzed, despite its importance for libraries and collections, which directly induces their deterioration. From the comparisons and implemented studies, we can conclude that the entire maintenance and security systems need to work together in order to effectively fight this agent.
