Metro Toronto Library staff felt that their experience in losing over 200 reference books in 1975 to book vandalism was due to the library being understaffed.[1] The Memphis study mentioned above also found that staff could be part of the problem by being "innocent, ignorant or complacent."[32] In addition, the same study found that students using the library felt that security in the library was seen as poor and that students did not know the cost of materials damaged and felt that punishment for being caught would be lenient.[33]
