Elf's and library security systems

[Jean P. Gordon]

alison,

The only security system we were able to locate in the San Francisco Bay 
Area that uses a magnetic field instead of an electromagnetic field is 
now out of business.  It turned out to be a very poor system for 
libraries, too many false alarms.  It drive the circ desk people crazy!

I did find a couple of good web sites:

Good luck
