At Aberdeen University Library we have been testing a 3M
self-issue terminal with the Dynix automated circulation system.
Before making final decisions on the expansion of self-issue
points throughout the Library, we would be interested to hear from
other libraries operating similar systems. I will summarise
replies for the list:
1) Which library system and which self-issue system are you using,
and have there been any problems with compatibility?
2) How much, if any, rebarcoding of stock has been done? Can all
library stock be issued at the self-issue points?
3)Were there any problems with student ID/Library cards?
4) How many self-issue points are in place or planned? What is the
actual or predicted impact on traffic at the Issue Desk?
5) How did you publicise the system and did you do much reader
instruction?
6) Any general comments on the operation of the system.
Please reply to me and I shall consolidate the responses.
Many thanks.
