Some people like to do things for themselves, especially when it's more convenient than waiting to be served. Now in a simultaneous global launch, 3M Library Systems has introduced two new checkout systems to save library patrons a wait in the checkout line and save library staff time for more important tasks.
Checkout begins by placing a library card under the scanner.
Once the system has read the barcode, it accesses the library's circulation database and confirms borrowing privileges. If the patron is an approved borrower, on-screen messages explain how to position materials for processing. In this truly global introduction, customers can choose four of 26 different languages for each of the two models. More details on the 3M SelfCheck system model 6210 and 3M SelfCheck system model 4210 are available at the 3M Library Systems website.
