TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Creating a safe haven for university students: how are we doing? JO - Journal of access services A1 - Sanders, Mark SP - 200 EP - 211 VL - 9 IS - 4 N2 - Too frequently, and often too late, academic librarians learn of patron experiences involving problem patrons, misdemeanor criminal activity, or poorly secured areas.
