3M Library Security System
Introduction

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.
Witha 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 m essages
for your sales representative, or to contact the 3M
credit department:

3M Library Security System
How the System Works
Section 2.
How the System Works
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 t he strips back on when materials are
returned to the library. This allows for full circulation
of all library materials.
The 3M detection system i s designed to detect
sensitized 3M Tattle-Tapesecurity 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 materialsoccurs. 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.

4.9 3Mt Bookcheck Model 966 (Not For
Use With Recorded Magnetic Media)
Description/Characteristics
The 3Mt Bookcheck Model 966 is designed to
desensitize and resensitize 3Mt Tattle-Tapet
Security Strips. This includes strips applied in or on
books, magazines, periodicals, and compact discs.
The Model 966 is not intended to be used with
recorded magnetic media such as audio cassettes,
video cassettes or computer software.
The Model 966 also has a verifier switch and light.
When the verifier switch is in the ON position, the
verifier light identifies materials which are protected
with active 3M Tattle-Tape security strips.
Security strips and labels on protected items must be
properly desensitized so the items can be carried
through the detection system without causing an
alarm.
When items are returned, the security strips can be
resensitized. Improperly resensitized items will not
alarm when passed through the detection system.
Installation
The Model 966 is designed to be installed in the
circulation counter. It is also designed to be reversible,
allowing you to process materials in a r ight-to-leftor
left-to-right motion. However, once installed in the
counter,materials can be processed in one direction
only. The library staff should indicate their preference
of direction to the 3M service representative during
the installation.
The library is responsible for cutting the mounting
hole for the Model 966 in the circulation counter top
and for mounting the Model 966 to the counter.
Instructions for completing this portion of the
installation are included with the Model 966.
Once the Model 966 is mounted in the counter, the

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 islocked 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.

Problem: Gate will not lock or remains locked. Gate
closes too quickly (less than 4 seconds) or
too slowly (more than 7 seconds).
Solution: Place service call.
Problem: Gate arm does not return to the correct
closed position (perpendicular to the gate
base).
Solution:

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

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.
Withthe 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

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.

6.3 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 -- in the spine of
books
B2 Strips -- in the gutter of
books
DVM-1 Strips -- on video tapes
DCD-2 Overlays -- on compact discs
DAC-1 Cassette -- on audio cassettes
Strips
S Let each staff member practice desensitizing and
resensitizing materials with the appropriate
circulation accessories.
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
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.
supplement:
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 r eceive 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
E 3M 1999 September
3M Library Security System Training Your Staff
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 f orget 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 m ay
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 maycheck 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. Verifythat all of the patron’s library materials are
properly checked out.
E 3M 1999 September
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.

6.7 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
