Introduction

The global leader in library systems products

Welcome to the group of libraries using Checkpoint EM detection systems to protect collections and improve library service. The purpose of this manual is to help library directors and supervisory staff understand the detection system and provide ideas on communicating system operation and function to staff and library users.

By incorporating this manual’s recommendations with your own policies and procedures, you can achieve a high level of collection security. Supervisors should acquaint themselves with the contents of this manual and use it to teach library staff. Keep it readily accessible. Do not file it away. It is intended to be a ready reference source.

Your 3M service representative will conduct in-service training that will include an explanation of the contents of this manual. Once training is completed, it is the responsibility of the director—delegated through supervisors—to train library staff and ensure that library policies and procedures are followed when working with the system. If this manual does not provide all required information, please contact your local 3M sales representative.

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 system 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 typical 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 losses. Call our toll-free 800 number any time of the 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 owner’s manual

•Practice tagging materials with strips.

•Reviewing your library’s security policies

•Reviewing how to respond when the alarm sounds

•Using the system alarm log

•Addressing patron concerns

Owner’s manual

This manual contains the information necessary to operate your Checkpoint EM Detection 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.

Hands-on practice

After reviewing this manual, your staff will benefit from actual hands-on experience with the detection system products they are expected to use. We suggest you start by demonstrating the proper techniques for applying security strips to items. You may wish to conduct the actual practice as follows:

1.Make sure that all the other security system accessories are installed and functional.

2.Let each staff member practice installing strips and markers on library items.

3.Let each staff member practice sensitizing and desensitizing materials.

Note: For additional information on installing strips and markers, refer to the Accessories and Strips User’s Guide (78-8129-3502-7).
