Checkpoint System Installed in Library By Paula Koestner Collegian Staff Writer A new Checkpoint Book Security System has been installed in the Highacres Library. This electronic detection system is designed to prevent unchecked books from leaving the library. If a student forgets to check out a book, the system will sound off a buzzer and lock the turnstile. The Mark II detection system was in stalled this past summer. All library material including books, magazines, tapes, etc. is coated with a special sub stance. When an unchecked item is de tected by the system, the individual must return to the circulation desk to check the materials out properly. When the material is properly checked, the screen detects the stamp and allows the person to pass. This device is able to detect material through clothes, bags, purses, etc. Since the library has opened, over $lO,OOO worth of materials has been lost, so it is estimated the Mark II detection system will pay for itself in a few years by preventing book losses. Besides being beneficial to the library, it is also a great aid to library patrons. Students can be assured of knowing that needed materials will be in the library or when they will be returned. Mrs. Ferry, campus librarian, com mented that she is very pleased with the system and is grateful for the cooperation students have given her by taking the time to check out their books. “I would like to thank this year’s students for their excel lent behavior while using the library and I hope this will continue,” Ferry said.
