Products and Services
Self-service: it’s only convenient if it’s easy!
Our intuitive solutions were developed to meet the specific needs of library users. Not only can users easily borrow, return and renew physical items at our selfCheck™ kiosks, but they can also borrow items from their smartphones, receive interactive selfCheck receipts on the go, easily switch between multiple virtual library cards in-app, and discover digital materials both at the physical selfCheck and on the go.
Extending access and increasing open hours with open+
open+ is a comprehensive solution that allows libraries to increase their open hours and build community engagement with extended access to self-service resources, wireless connections, physical collections and inviting spaces. Not only can libraries attract new users who are unable to visit the library during traditional hours but they can also be more flexible with their staff hours and focus on literacy needs of the community beyond the four walls of the library.
