[LM_NET] Security Systems

[Jeri Hurd <JHurd@KLHT.ORG>]

I'm spending a huge amount of time this spring gutting the collection by a
good 60%.  It's pretty old, my principal completely agrees and also seems
willing to fund rebuilding it.  Hooray!

A lot of books have simple "gone missing,"--mostly, I suspect, because the
doors don't lock, kids are in here at all hours, and there's no security
system, so it's pretty easy to inadvertantly walk out with a book.

Thus, I'm trying to make a case for putting a system in this summer,
before all the new books start coming in.  However, I'm completely
clueless about this (it's my first year as librarian). I Googled it, but
there are so many different companies out there, I thought I'd ask all of
you---who are the most reliable vendors for this sort of thing?

Many thanks!
