3M Tattle-Tape 

BSD uses the 3M Tattle-Tape as a security feature for its books and AV materials. It is a magnetic metallic strip embedded in a strip of thick and clear double-sided adhesive. A piece of security strip is affixed firmly between the sheets of book. If a user takes the book and attempts to leave the library premises without borrowing it, an alarm will sound at the gates near the library exit. To prevent this from happening, users would need to borrow the materials using the self-check kiosk first. The self-check kiosk would desensitize the security strip in the book or AV when the user checks out the item. When the book is returned, it is re-sensitized again.

How to use the 3M Tattle-Tape?

         Open a page of the book from the back (about 4-5 pages away from the last page), carefully paste the strip between two pages and press down firmly to secure the strip.
