Human resources are an asset to any institution provided they are taken care of. The purpose of this paper is to find out the implementation level of the security of human resources in university libraries in Maharashtra. Three factors such as conventional, ecological and emotional security are discussed that majorly affects the security of library staff. The survey data was collected using an online questionnaire. It was found that on an average 58% of university libraries have fully implemented three main factors as security measures in their libraries while only some part has been implemented by 31% and 11% of university libraries have not implemented the security measures for the library staff consecutively. Results indicate that efforts are taken by university libraries in Maharashtra to secure human resources but some more are required to develop a healthy environment for the development of libraries.
