As Flexible As You Need It To Be- Checkpoint Systems

Many libraries that use Checkpoint systems are based off of technology similar to a retail environment. They use labels for library theft prevention that generate an alarm at the exit doors if the label is active. During the checkout process, the labels are deactivated, and reactivated when the library materials are checked back in.

As libraries upgrade to electronic checkouts, these Checkpoint systems can be easily incorporated. 

An important feature is that these systems can be flexible in their cost. If the library is small, maybe only one deactivator pad is needed, and then shared between checkout stations. If more are needed as the library expands, then more deactivator pads can be added in.

Budgetary restraints should not prohibit a library from investing in feasible library theft prevent. Utilizing a system that can start out as small as what you really need it to be, and can also be expanded based upon other needs is a truly great solution.

It is also easier to take initial cost analysis to overseeing boards and trustees that can be fit into existing budgets. It is a much harder sell to try and convince them that an expensive and bulky system is needed. By sizing the library theft detection system to the actual size needed for your location makes it easier to actually get approval to go forward.
