Dear colleagues:
Once again, I would like to call upon your collective
wisdom and this time the topic is self-check out. We are in a
curious situation because - although we do not circulate outside of the
library - we are trying to implement an automated self-check out system
that would allow our students to "check out" books to their reserve shelves
on-site. My main motivation for doing this is so we can gather usage
statistics for our collection (at the moment, we use the "Warburg Card" system
that works for circulation but doesn't allow for
statistics).
We are looking into the QuickCheck system by Sentry.
Do any of you out there have experience with this software? Our ILS
is III Millennium and I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has been down
this road before.
Many thanks,
Heather Topcik
