We installed a 3M model 3502, dual corridor gate at OU's Fine Arts Library about a year ago and have been happy with it. Happy enough that we'll be installing another in the Architecture library when it reopens following renovations. One thing to be aware of - this gate requires a wider clearance from large metal objects, electrical outlets, computers/printers and sensitized materials than the older model. We needed to rearrange our entry space a little bit to accommodate it. You'll want to study the installation guide pretty carefully to make sure you can meets the specs. Good luck, Matt Matt Stock Assistant Professor/Fine & Applied Arts Librarian University Libraries University of Oklahoma (405)325-4243 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go."

Eliot From: ART LIBRARIES SOCIETY DISCUSSION LIST [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Kristine Paulus Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 11:25 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARLIS-L] Detection System Advice Hello, The library of the New York Academy of Art is preparing to move in the near future and we are planning to purchase a new detection system. We currently have a very old, clunky, unreliable 3M model and are looking to replace it with something a little less obtrusive and a little more aesthetically pleasing. If anyone has any advice or recommendations I'd love to hear from you. Cheers, Kristine Paulus Librarian & Archivist New York Academy of Art 111 Franklin Street New York, NY 10013 212.842.5964 __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask]
