Thinking Public Libraries

“Library users can now borrow up to 12 items simultaneously from 2CQR’s beautifully designed kiosks and desktop units.”

Public libraries are under increasing pressure to deliver better services with fewer resources so making the right decisions has never been more important.

(RFID) allows library users to borrow and return books themselves whilst at the same time freeing staff from repetitive administrative tasks. It can also help you manage stock more effectively and target resources efficiently. Delivering service improvements with (RFID) is limited only by your imagination!

Self-service loan and return stations have been available for many years now but the real service benefits come from using (RFID) to speed up this process. Library users can now borrow up to 12 items simultaneously from 2CQR’s beautifully designed kiosks and desktop units.

Using RFID to return items is both simple for your clients and more reliable for your staff as items can be sorted into any of 255 categories for re-shelving, reservation or disposal. With the introduction of a new national standard in January 2010 inter-library loans can also be managed more effectively with (RFID).

Your collection is your greatest asset so security is a vital concern for stock managers. New advances in tag technology enable 2CQR to offer a wide range of options to guarantee total security for your stock.
