The method used is descriptive qualitative with observation and interview data collection techniques. The validity test uses technical triangulation, and data analysis uses data reduction, data presentation, and drawing and conclusions. The results found were that the UNNES Library had implemented security features in the form of physical security and security management. Physical security includes placement architecture, building architecture, guards, equipment and exhibition security, while security management includes library material security, access security and surveillance cameras.
