Dear colleagues
when planning for a new library facilities the question of the library
card type cropped up.
Is anyone using, on a regular basis, library cards different than the
"old" barcode cards? Magnetic? Chip? Possible vendors? And how does it
work with software? Or sites where to read about them?
Our hardware systems designers offered that everything be on the same
card (borrowing, internet stations, lockers, copying, entrances, free
parking, etc) and I could not respond sensibly. I do have a feeling they
would not be very willing to design it on a barcode car basis .-) We are
using our state ID cards (chip) alongside with the normal barcode cards,
this required a piece of additional software on the terminal side.
Any bit of information would be of help, thanks in advance
Best wishes
Asko Tamme
