Introduction
The global leader in library systems products
3M pioneered the concept of electronic protection of library materials more
than 35 years ago. We are still leading the way. Today, thousands of libraries
around the world use 3M™ Detection Systems to protect their valuable
collections, and more libraries trust 3M than all other library detection
systems combined.
What this means to you
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 help ensure your satisfaction.
The 3M™ Detection System Model 8800 series has been designed to detect
the unauthorized removal of materials concealed within book bags,
briefcases, or under clothing. While a 100% electronic net does not exist, the
system provides effective protection and significant reduction in the loss of
library materials.
With a little attention and care, your 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, or to leave messages for your sales representative at
1-800-328-0067.
Training your Staff
A key element of any media loss prevention effort is a successful staff
training program. Your 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:
§ Reviewing the owners manual
§ Practice tagging materials with 3M™ D8 RFID tags
§ Reviewing your library's security policies
§ Reviewing how to respond when the alarm sounds
§ Using the system alarm log
§ Addressing patron concerns
