Self Check Circulation System with NEWGENLIB

[K. Nagaraja Rao]

Respected Patron:

Greetings from NGL Open Source

NGL introduces “Counter” and “Touch” applications. These both tools together reduce the work of your Circulation desk staff drastically. It is very helpful at the time of peak hours of the Circulation desk. For example: During examinations period or end of the semester or recess time.

NGL Touch and Counter implements the below use cases. NGL Touch is a solution for Self-help computers (Kiosks). NGL Counter is a solution for library security. It tracks library visitors

Use case at the time of Check-out (Issues)
-----------------------------------------
1. Library User picks books from the stacks
2. Users goes to Self-help computer (or kiosk) and checks-out the books himself/herself
3. System issues a check-out slip
4. User takes the books and the check-out slip to the library exit. The security personnel cross checks the slip with the books. NGL Counter application also flashes to the security personnel the list of books the user is checking out.
5. Security personnel allows the user to take the books after above checks are made

Use case at the time of Check-in (Returns)
-----------------------------------------
1. Users brings books to the library that need to be returned
2. User goes to Self-help computer (or kiosk) and checks-in the books himself/herself. The books are dropped into a normal wooden box with a slit to drop in the book
3. Circulation desk personnel perform actual check in of the book after verifying the book condition. This is done at their convenience.
