Security in health service libraries--a survey in North West Thames Region.
My aim is to discuss the results of a survey of health service libraries in North West Thames Region undertaken in November 1990 as part of a more detailed study of library security. Widely varying patterns of losses were discovered. The ways in which librarians have tried to resolve these problems are described and a number of possible solutions are proposed. A brief review of the literature is also included.
