Polaris Library Systems to resell 3M's library equipment

3M has signed Polaris Library Systems as a reseller of its automated materials handling, RFID and SelfCheck systems for libraries. It's an expansion of the companies' previous deal, in which Polaris integrated the 3M Cloud Library eBook Lending Service with its OPAC. The deal suggests that 3M may be offering OPAC vendors a more extensive business relationship, which could give it a leg up over OverDrive.
