[ISLMA-Share] Question about alarm system

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We have a 3M system (15 years old) that uses the tattle-tape strips in
books and magazines.  The alarm sounds several times a day like it's
supposed to when students forget to check out items.

The 3M or Demco-brand strips are pricey, but we've had them donated by a
local business for two years now, so that's a great help.
