Abstract
Like many academic libraries, the Sims Memorial Library at Southeastern Louisiana University is facing new safety and security challenges. Library usage at Sims has increased over the past 4 years. There have been behavior problems with some students and non-affiliated users, including several outstanding incidents that have required police intervention.
