====== Collection Security Working Group ====== {{::security.png?250|}} The CERL Security Working group exists to help member libraries enhance the security of their culturally important heritage collections. The Working Group publishes the [[https://www.cerl.org/collaboration/security/QAT|Quick Audit Tool]], organises an annual [[https://www.cerl.org/collaboration/security/summerschools|Collection Security Summer School]], and runs a [[https://www.cerl.org/collaboration/security#the_confidential_security_network|confidential mailing list]]. ===== Remit ====== * To coordinate information about on-going security issues of relevance for collections within the scope of CERL, through the CERL Security Network and through other appropriate channels * To monitor and disseminate information on emerging methods and technologies in library crime prevention and detection * To identify emerging areas of vulnerability or concern * To coordinate access to important documents on legislation, policy and practice relating to collection security * To provide guidance on building robust collection security policy and practice relating to threats to collections * To organise events for information exchange, as well as skills development * To serve as an interface with security networks in related sectors The CERL Working Group on security focuses on threats posed to collections by criminal activity, such as theft, wilful destruction, or by the adulteration of collection. Other physical threats to collections, such as fire, earthquakes, terrorism or flooding are only within the group’s remit in so far as they have an impact on the collections’ vulnerability to criminal depredation. Membership of the Working Group is restricted to CERL members, on nomination by the member library, but the Security Working Group conferences and workshops are normally open to all. ===== Members of the Working Group ===== Chairman: [[jacqueline.lambert@kbr.be|Jacqueline Lambert]], Koninklijke Bibliotheek van België – Bibliothèque royale de Belgique, Brussels\\ [[mailto:jra@kb.dk|Jarle Rui Aadna]] and [[alm@kb.dk|Anna Magdalena Lindskog Midtgaard]], Det Kongelige Bibliotek, Copenhagen\\ [[naltarriba@bnc.cat|Núria Altarriba]] , Biblioteca de Catalunya, Spain\\ [[steven.archer@trin.cam.ac.uk|Steven Archer]], Trinity College Library, Cambridge\\ [[Greger.Bergvall@kb.se|Greger Bergvall]], Kungliga Biblioteket, Sweden\\ [[joseluis.bueren@bne.es|José Luis Bueren Gómez-Acebo]], Biblioteca Nacional de España\\ [[andrea.cappa@beniculturali.it|Andrea Cappa]], Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma (BNCR)\\ [[claire.coute@bnf.fr |Claire Couté]], Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris\\ [[Louisa.Coles@glasgow.ac.uk>|Louisa Coles]], University of Glasgow Information Services\\ [[bente.granrud@nb.no|Bente Granrud]] and [[gunhild.myrbakk@nb.no|Gunhild Myrbakk]], National Library of Norway, Oslo\\ [[ikas@bsb-muenchen.de|Wolfgang-Valentin Ikas]], Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, München\\ [[victoria.juhlin@ntnu.no|Victoria Juhlin]], Uppsala University Library, Uppsala\\ [[karen.limper-herz@bl.uk|Karen Limper-Herz]], British Library, London\\ [[j.marshall@nls.uk|Joe Marshall]], National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh\\ [[kathleen.muhlen_axelsson@ub.lu.se|Kathleen Mühlen Axelsson]], University Library Lund\\ [[nagy.gergely@oszk.hu|Gergely Nagy]], National Széchényi Library of Hungary, Budapest\\ [[bodonnell@nli.ie|Brian O'Donnell]], National Library of Ireland, Dublin\\ [[alessandro.sidoti@cultura.gov.it|Alessandro Sidoti]], Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze, Italy\\ [[Fran.Stroobants@kbr.be|Fran Stroobants]], Koninklijke Bibliotheek van België – Bibliothèque royale de Belgique, Brussels\\ [[wim.tromp@kb.nl|Wim Tromp]] and [[foekje.boersma@kb.nl|Foekje Boersma]], Koninklijke Bibliotheek, The Hague\\ ===== The confidential Security Network ===== Institutions may nominate one member of staff (typically the Head of Security or equivalent) to be included in the Security Network mailing list. This mailing list is a secure environment for the exchange of confidential information regarding incidents of criminal activity witnessed in subscribing institutions. With the support of the LIBER Executive Board, the Royal Library, Copenhagen, set up the LIBER Security Network in December 2002. From January 2013 the Security Network is hosted by CERL.
