Description:

While the creation of an emergency procedures plan is a standard task for academic libraries, chances are that these policies receive little revision after their inception. That was the case for one university library who decided to revisit their policy upon the arrival of a new dean. This library was surprised to find that their policy had several holes, and set about to update the policy to reflect a strong commitment to safety.
