Al-Maktoum College of Higher Education – Library Security Case Study

Why Al-Maktoum College Switched to PSP’s eRLS RFID System

Having recently completed a new library security installation for Al-Maktoum College of Higher Education in Dundee (January 2024), we were keen to get Graham’s feedback on the new eRLS RFID stock control and security system, and the difference it’s making in the Shaikh Hamdan Library. Here’s what he had to say about upgrading to a more discreet and unobtrusive security antenna and what it was like working with the PSP team.

Did you switch or upgrade your library security system from a previous supplier?

Yes, we switched to a completely new security system.

What was the reason for the switch/upgrade to eRLS RFID?

Our library used a very old electromagnetic (EM) antenna system for stock security. The antennas took up a fair amount of floor space so we decided to change to a more up-to-date stock control system.

How does this security solution make managing your library easier/more efficient?

The system we chose gave us huge flexibility in terms of antenna location, being either ceiling-mounted or mounted on an arm / bracket above the doors (the option we chose). This allowed us to recover valuable floor space.

“The eRLS RFID system gave us huge flexibility in terms of antenna location, which allowed us to recover valuable floor space. We had no problems at all, from start to finish. The service from everyone at PSP was professional and very supportive and helpful.”

Do you have a favourite feature or something in particular that makes your life easier?

The flexibility of the antenna location is a huge benefit to the library, as mentioned previously. It’s very discreet and unobtrusive, which is a bonus.

Have you had any feedback from library users?

To be honest, we haven’t asked them, but the fact that the new security system has gone more or less unnoticed can only be a good thing.

How did you find working with the PSP team?

We had no problems at all, from start to finish. The service from everyone was professional and very supportive and helpful.

Would you recommend eRLS RFID and PSP to other library teams?

Definitely. We’ve had no problems at all. Keep up the good work!
