3M Library Security System

Introduction

Section 1.

Introduction

The Global Leader in Library Materials Flow

Management

3M pioneered the concept of electronic protection of library materials more than 25 years ago. We are still leading the way.

Today, thousands of libraries around the world use the

3Mt Library Security System to protect their valuable collections. In fact, more libraries trust 3M than all other library security systems combined.

What this means to you

This manual explains how your 3M Library Security

System operates. By becoming familiar with the information this manual contains, you and your staff will derive the maximum benefits from your system.

But do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions.

From the best-trained field service organization, to our technical service group and customer support staff, we are committed to providing you with the support you require to ensure your complete satisfaction.

People who remove materials from libraries without authorization are much like your average patron.

Library materials are usually placed within book bags, briefcases or concealed under clothing. 3M detection systems have been designed to detect the unauthorized removal of materials concealed in this manner. While a 100% electronic net does not exist, the 3M system provides effective protection and significant reduction in the loss of library materials.

With a little attention and care, your 3M system should provide you with many years of service and help to protect your library against thousands of dollars in losses.

Call our toll-free 800 number any time of day or night for service, to order supplies, to leave messages for your sales representative, or to contact the 3M credit department:

How the System Works

Section 2.


Your 3Mt Library System consists of several components, including 3Mt Tattle-Tapet Security

Strips, circulation accessories, and the detection system(s).

The key to the effectiveness of the system is protecting your materials with 3M Tattle-Tape security strips. Only when materials are protected can the 3M

Detection system detect someone trying to leave the library without properly checking out items.

The primary zone of detection between the lattices extends from the floor to 72 inches [1,82 m] above the floor. The electronic coverage in this area is not 100% and it will vary with the options you have and the type of 3M security markers you use. The rate of detection in this area is effective to deter the loss of protected materials.

Checking out materials is accomplished using desensitizers to “turn off” the strips while resensitizers are used to turn the strips back on when materials are returned to the library. This allows for full circulation of all library materials.

The 3M detection system is designed to detect sensitized 3M Tattle-Tape security strips and then sound an alarm, thus preventing unauthorized removal of library materials.

It is this simple:

Mark materials as described in this manual.

Circulate materials using desensitizers and resensitizers described in the Accessories section.

Listen for the 3M detection system alarm to sound when unauthorized removal of materials occurs. Of course, it is also important to watch for suspicious actions such as holding materials above the head and passing items around the lattices when passing through the detection system.

3M offers several models of detection systems to meet your library’s needs. See the next section for the details on the various models.

Strips. This includes security strips which have been surface-applied to audio and video cassettes, and prepackaged computer software.

This device is not intended to desensitize security strips which have been applied directly to computer software, as the disks may be damaged.

Security strips on protected items must be properly desensitized so the items can be carried through the detection system without causing an alarm.

3M Accessories


To desensitize security strips:

Draw the marked item across the surface of the Model

763. Make sure the strips are against the back or horizontal surface of the unit. Place video tapes against the back of the unit as shown in the following example.

Place audio tapes on the horizontal surface of the unit as shown in the following example.

Installation


However, the 3M Model 763 should be used and stored away from areas which are readily accessible to customers.


To avoid damage to credit cards or computer software, do not permit credit cards or computer disks to make direct contact with the 3M Model 763.

3Mt Model 494 Locking Exit or

Entrance Gate


The 3M Model 494 is designed to restrain patrons during an alarm. Gates are shipped from the factory to open with a clockwise rotation but may be modified to open with a counterclockwise rotation.

The locking mechanism is controlled by an alarm signal and power from the detection system.

When a strip is detected in the detection system and an alarm is created, the exit gate will lock in the closed position blocking patron travel through the exit corridor. The gate remains locked for the alarm period. If the gate is locked during an emergency, the gate arm can be forced open with a force of 15 -- 25 lbs. [6,8 -- 11,3 kg].

Gates are not available on the Detection System

Model 3500.

Installation

Locking exit gates may be installed on either side of the detection system. For single corridor systems, the gate box may be located at the end of either panel. For dual corridor systems, two gates are required and the gate boxes must be located at the ends of the two outside panels.

The locking exit gate is designed to be installed by

3M factory trained service personnel.

System Model 5210


The system emulates the same procedures to process materials that librarians use. When a patron places a library card in the system, a scanner is activated that reads the bar code and then accesses the library circulation system. If he or she is an approved patron, screen graphics appear that guide the patron through the check-out process. The system verifies that the item can be circulated, checks the item out, desensitizes the 3Mt Tattle-Tapet Security Strip and prints out a date due slip — all in a matter of seconds.

If patrons are not approved borrowers or there is some other problem or information to convey — such as fines owed or materials on hold for them — the screen simply spells out the appropriate message or asks them to go to the front desk.

The 3M selfcheck system is compatible with many automated circulation systems.

The system also features menus which allow you to make changes in a few minutes. You can choose from a variety of different instructional messages and even add Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) to further improve security.

3Mt Staff Workstation Model 995


The 3Mt Staff Workstation Model 995 emulates the same processes the library staff follows to check in or out library items. The Model 995 is connected to an existing library terminal and consolidates several processing tasks.

The desensitizing and resensitizing deck can be surface or flush mounted.

A scanner and a keyboard wedge are included with the

Model 995 to scan item bar codes. This replaces scanning with a hand-held scanner, using a light pen, or entering the number on the keyboard.

For processing non-magnetic media, electronics in the

Model 995 eliminate the need for separate resensitizing and desensitizing accessories.

With the flip of a switch, the operator can process recorded magnetic media such as audio cassettes, video cassettes, or computer software. Magnetic media may be processed by using the Model 995 to record the transaction in the library circulation system and an appropriate resensitizer or desensitizer to sensitize or desensitize the strip.

Training Your Staff

A key element of any media loss prevention effort is a successful staff training program. Your 3Mt Library

Security System will be much more effective with the active cooperation and participation of your entire library staff. We recommend that you periodically conduct formal training sessions, including the following elements to ensure its success:

6-1 Familiarization with the Operator’s Manual

6--2 View 3M Materials Flow Management

Customer Training Video

6-3 Hands-on practice marking materials with security strips and labels and desensitizing and resensitizing security strips

6-4 Review of your library’s security policies

6-5 What to do when the alarm sounds

6.1

Operator’s Manual

This manual contains all of the information necessary to operate your 3M Library Security System, as well as supplemental information on handling alarms, ordering supplies, and training your staff. It also contains important information about security strips and circulation accessories.

Library personnel should be familiar with the manual and where to locate it so they can refer to it when necessary.

6.2

Training Video

The 3M Materials Flow Management Customer

Training Video is provided along with the 3M Library

Security System. We recommend you view this video prior to familiarizing yourself with other training information in this section.

6.3

Hands-on Practice

After reviewing the Operator’s Manual, your staff should get some actual hands-on experience in using the 3M Materials Flow Management products. We suggest you start by demonstrating the proper techniques for each stripping procedure. You may wish to conduct the actual practice as follows:

S

Have your staff review the 3M Materials Flow

Management Customer Training Video included in your customer training kit. The video includes an index and running time clock for easy review of specific sections of the video.

S

Set up your circulation accessories on a table along with security strips and a few bayonets.

S

Let each staff member practice installing the security strips that you use:

B1 Strips

B2 Strips

-- in the spine of books

-- in the gutter of books

-- on video tapes DVM-1 Strips

DCD-2 Overlays -- on compact discs

DAC-1 Cassette -- on audio cassettes

S

Let each staff member practice desensitizing and resensitizing materials with the appropriate circulation accessories.

6.4

Review Of Your Library’s Security

Policies

Before practicing how to respond to alarms, your staff should be familiar with your library’s security policies as they relate to theft of materials. Your policy should be put in writing and kept in your training kit in addition to any procedures you already follow to keep your staff informed of security measures. It is particularly important for staff members to know what procedures your library follows when theft is suspected or when it is necessary to contact a local law enforcement agency.

A critical phase of staff training concerns the proper steps to take when the security system alarm sounds.

The value of tact and courtesy when handling this delicate situation cannot be overemphasized. Your staff members should receive as much preparation as possible to make them feel comfortable. Only then will they be likely to deal successfully with patrons who activate the alarm.

6-2


6.5

What To Do When The Alarm Sounds

Note

The steps that follow are suggested procedures only. We suggest all employees develop a complete understanding of their management’s policies and follow them as directed. The response should be consistent for all patrons caught in an alarm. It is also important that employees be familiar with state and local laws governing patrons’ rights and responsibilities.

Sooner or later, it’s bound to happen. The audible alarm goes off. In multiple corridor systems, the light at the top of the panel will indicate in which corridor the alarm occurred. What you and your staff do in response to the alarm will depend on your library’s policy and the laws in your community. Always follow your library’s specific procedures. 3M offers these guidelines as a suggested supplement:

First, don’t panic. Remain calm and courteous. You can’t be positive that the person who triggered the alarm is stealing. Never accuse anyone of theft by word, by facial expression, or by tone of voice. The alarm may have been triggered accidentally, so always respond in a positive, non-threatening manner.

E

3M 1999 September


Scenario #1

The library staff person mistakenly neglects to desensitize a marked item when checking out the patron’s materials, or the patron accidentally removes marked materials from the library.

After asking the patron to return to the counter, a typical response might be, “Excuse me, did I forget to check out one of your items?” — or — “Did you perhaps pick up one of the library’s books with your own things?” These are courteous questions, and they don’t accuse the patron of theft. Be sure to smile and ask the questions in a friendly, non-threatening manner.

Process and desensitize all items again. If you discover an item that hasn’t been properly checked out, never accuse the patron of stealing. Simply act as if the error was an oversight — it more than likely was. If the patron causes the alarm to sound again, follow the policy that your library has established for possible theft of materials.

Scenario #2

If a patron denies having any library materials after sounding the alarm, follow your library’s policy for theft.

Scenario #3

If a patron bolts and runs out of the library after sounding the alarm, follow your library’s policy for theft.

Responding to alarms is a sensitive situation, but can be handled confidently and effectively as long as your library has established procedures AND your staff has been fully trained in following them.


Unwanted Alarms

The detection system is virtually free of false alarms.

Occasionally the detection system may alarm and the staff will find that the patron does not have unauthorized library materials. The patron may have carried items with active strips into the library.

“Unwanted alarms” are alarms caused by active security strips on items carried into the library. If the following items have active security strips, they may cause unwanted alarms:

S

Books from another library or book store

S

Audio and video cassettes from video rental and music stores

S

Other items from retail stores

Other security system users may check out, lend, or sell protected items without desensitizing the security strips. These items will cause unwanted alarms as the patron enters or exits the library. Unwanted alarms will cause concern and added work for the library staff. Unwanted alarms are generally infrequent and will vary depending on the patrons and on the proximity of your library to locations that are releasing materials containing active security strips.

Because it is not possible to distinguish between unwanted alarms and alarms with potential book loss, all responses to alarms must be consistent and follow your management policies. If patrons see no response to alarms, the detection system becomes less effective.

When you decide that an active strip on an item from outside your library caused an alarm, follow these steps:

1. Explain the problem to the patron.

2. Verify that all of the patron’s library materials are properly checked out.

3. Allow the patron to exit the library.

Many patrons will learn from the experience and will not carry items that may cause alarms into the library.

6.6

System Alarm Log

The System Alarm Log is used to keep a record of alarms that occur.

For each alarm, record the information on the log.

Keeping this log up-to-date provides a key tool for monitoring system activity. An up-to-date alarm log provides useful information for your management and your 3M service representative.


6.7

Addressing Patron Concerns

If your patrons express concern about the effect of the

3Mt Detection System on pacemakers, hearing aids, recorded magnetic media, you can respond that 3M researchers (in conjunction with the manufacturers of these items) have conducted extensive tests on 3M detection systems and have found them to be perfectly safe. The magnetic signal used by the detection panels to detect sensitized 3Mt Tattle-Tapet Security

Strips is no stronger than that of an ordinary kitchen blender or a hair dryer.

Cleaning Instructions

Lattice and Base

General Maintenance

Turn off the security system prior to using liquid cleaners. Remove dirt and greasy buildup using towels or soft cloths which have been dampened with a common household grease-cutting liquid cleaner. We suggest a monthly cleaning to retain the best equipment appearance.

Photocell Lens and Reflector

At least once a month, wipe the photocell lens and reflector with a soft cloth dampened with water.

Accessories (Desensitizers)

Over time, areas on accessories that come in constant contact with adhesive-backed tapes and labels will accumulate a build-up of adhesive. To remove adhesive build-up, clean the surface with a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol (ethyl or isopropyl).

Model 3801/3802

Fan Filter on Electronics Chassis

At least once every six months, clean the fan filter as follows:

1. Turn the key switch to OFF.

2. Wait until the fan stops.

S

Steps 3 through 6 are for washing the fan filter. Instead of washing the filter, it may be vacuumed without removing the grille.

Washing is preferred because it results in a more thorough cleaning.

3. Remove the four thumb screws holding the fan grille.

4. Remove and wash the fan filter in water.

5. Dry the fan filter.

6. Reinstall the fan filter, grille, and four screws.

7. Return the key switch to ON.
