What are Security Solutions?

Our Security Solutions help ensure that materials don’t leave your library unless they are properly checked out. Our security solutions provide protection of library materials—especially high circulation items—from loss or theft through the use of EM, RF and RFID technology.

 

How do our Security Solutions work?

3M Security Solutions use either electromagnetic strips or RFID tags that, if not desensitized, sound an alert or notify staff if a customer is attempting to leave with an item that has not been checked out. Both types of systems are reliable and effective, and will detect unauthorized removal of materials at the entrance/exit to your library.
