Swipe



Just by chance, we had to move into our new facility before the
card-swipe mechanisms became active.  Thus the doors to our
stacks are equipped with both the swipe and a door lock.   You
should know that the entrance to our stacks is down a short
hallway between our offices.   Thus we control the access to the
door.   In the beginning, we thought the card-swipe would be great.
But eventually, trying to juggle books, book trucks, or boxes on
dollies--we changed to using the door lock.    The card-swipe still
works, of course, but we can control during working hours when
the door is locked or unlocked.

A second consideration that popped up was our students and
volunteers.   Each would need a card and we didn't wish to get
into the paperwork and changing each time we changed a volunteer
or a student left.
