[WEB4LIB] RE: privacy screens and furniture

[Jacque King]

Hi Jackie,

We use 3M Privacy screens.  They come in all sizes and are usually
around $300 /ea.  They have been quite effective although, if you are
standing directly behind them, you can see what is on the user's screen.
Off to the side, you can not see a thing.

We order ours from Office Depot, but I'm sure you can get them just
about anywhere.  They also clean very easily with rubbing alcohol or
water.  3M does make a special spray to clean the rough spots...but don't
spend the money unless alcohol does not do the trick.

Oh, by the way, the 3M privacy screens have a grounding wire (why, I am
not exactly sure) which will need to be clipped on to a piece of grounded
metal.

Hope this helps,
