Author(s): Dr. Biswajit Das
Abstract - This paper provides a comprehensive review of modern library security tools and techniques. As libraries evolve in the digital age, they face new security challenges in protecting both physical and digital assets. This research examines the latest developments in library security, including physical security measures, cybersecurity tools, privacy protection methods, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain. The paper analyzes the effectiveness of various security approaches through case studies and empirical data. Key findings indicate that a multi-layered security strategy combining both traditional and innovative techniques is most effective for addressing the complex security needs of modern libraries. Recommendations are provided for library administrators and policymakers to enhance security while balancing accessibility and user privacy concerns.
