Hit: Security systems

[Wilma Flagg <wflagg@WOLVES.K12.MO.US>]

Sorry, group. I should have known not to try to send an attachment. I
was having help in having this sent and the person helping me didn't
know either. Anyway, here are the responses I received.

 Wilma,
We have had the same 3M system for about 15 years.  It
is getting a little "ratty" but we have not had a
service call in at least the last 10 years.  Very low
maintenance, good reliability.

We had 3m in the past.  When it wore out we bought magnetic system from
(the name escapes me--but there are only 2 vendors.)  The system was
cheaper, had a year's warranty instead of 3 months, and is wood and so
much
better looking.  We had them out twice during the first year to adjust
things.  Overall it works great, but if a book is held exactly
horizontal it
will get through.  Our old 3m was in such sad shape that I can't really
compare.  You can use each company to compete with each other in price.
We
also got a patron counter for free because 3-m's had that and the other
didn't.  I don't like the radio frequency model.  High school kids can
defeat it so easily.

I have checkpoint, and if you work at a middle or high school you must
have
it.  I think it is $2,500.00.

Checkpoint got the low bid with our school district. It helps. But, each
book has a security
square inside the book. When you check out a book, you put sticker over
the square. Then when
you check a book in you have to peel the sticker off. Tedious. I have
heard 3_m is good. Check
them out.

Wilma,  I am a new H.S. librarian. If you find out anything about
security systems would you mind posting a hit or sending the
information to me directly?  This is something my principal wanted me to
check in to.  Thanks so much.

Wilma:  I would love to hear if you get any before and after stories.  I
have been trying to
find out how much less loss is experienced after installing a security
system, but it seems
many places don't track this - - they install the security system and
then assume they're
saving $$.
Please let me know if you get this information.
Thanks,
