Hello Bev

 

We have a pair of security gates that started to play up last year; the engineers reported they would need to be replaced and provided an estimate that was way beyond the next three years’ budget, so I turned them off! For students who ask why the alarm doesn’t sound anymore (obviously frustrated that they can’t trigger it!) I tell them that we have a new system that sends an alert to the computer and records the loss. Four months on, this ‘ghost’ system is still working!

Regards

Charlotte

 

 

Hello there

 

Is anyone operating their library/LRC without a security system? If so, what impact has this had? Ours is on the blink and I suspect getting it replaced will prove problematic (“do you really need a security system?”). In part, I could agree with this view: I’d like to think our print/DVD stock is so desirable people would steal it, but I suspect it’s not the case!

 

Thanks in advance of any responses.

 

Yours, peering through the freezing fog,
