Thefts of 
Books and MSS

An Ad Hoc Committee on Security estab- 
lished by the Rare Books and M anuscripts 
Section (RBMS) is now compiling information 
about re c e n t th efts o f valuable books and 
m an u scrip ts from lib ra rie s, archives, and 
booksellers.

The com m ittee will also explore existing 
procedures for theft alert and recovery and 
work toward the developm ent of guidelines 
for libraries and antiquarian bookselling firms.

Terry Belanger (assistant dean, School of 
Library Service, Columbia University, New 
York, NY 10027) asks persons with recent ex­
perience of a theft (or attem pted theft) to send 
him any published or other available informa­
tion about the theft. All information provided 
will be kept confidential.

O ther mem bers of the ad hoc committee 
are Thomas D. Burney (Library of Congress), 
Peter Hanff (University of California, Berke­
ley), Carolyn Harris (University of Texas at 
Austin), Paul S. Koda (University of North 
Carolina at Chapel Hill), Daniel Traister (New 
York Public Library), and David Zeidberg 
(George Washington University).
