Collection Security
The security of our collections is of vital importance and is a key aspect of our activities.
We determine the Library’s policies for stamping and marking Library items to indicate ownership an to ensure their security.
Collection security awareness training is given to all staff. A rolling programme is in place to audit all highly used and highly valuable items within the collection.

De-accessioning policy and procedures
As part of the management of the Library’s collections, deaccessioning collection material is an option to be considered. It provides opportunities to free up storage space but the policy, agreed by the Board in February 2003, is applied under strict guidelines. See the Library's Deaccessioning policy.
