Dear Sylvia:
I manage the International Cultural Property Protection Exposition which
is held in conjunction with The National Conference On Cultural Property
Protection (the next Conference and Exposition takes place 9-12 Feb.,
1998 in Washington, D.C.) and Access Control is a very important field
for controlling access and egress for the storage area - and for the
entire institution.
Badging Systems can be simple or complex - ranging from a simple
self-adheasive paper badge which self-expires after a certain period of
time or exposure to sunlight - to more complicated computer-based
systems which produce a photo ID Card which can be taken home as a
souvenir after use (with information on the user being stored in the
computer's memory). If you would like, you may contact me off-list or
visit the Confernce next February.
Kind Regards
Roger Wulff
