Description
Library operations are ever-changing as they incorporate new technology, formats and content to better meet service delivery mandates. Changes introduce new risks to library operations and additional challenges to recovery of essential services after a major interruption. The session will explain the innovative ways in which security threat risk assessment (TRA) and business continuity planning (BCP) have been implemented in one institution, and how their frameworks might provide guidance in your library. This session will focus on how these two security risk management methodologies enhanced the understanding of all participants of library operations. It will also touch on the experience of using a hybrid model of external security support (students and experts).
