It's not a decision that works for every library, but the combination of factors made us really examine our loss ratios and we got admin support for the decision.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Hello,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">I hear that Checkpoint is going out of business and that they are selling out their remaining RF Date Due and De-tuning supplies. Does anyone else use the Checkpoint security gate system? If so, have you identified a work-around or new
product?</p>
