New technology in the works

If you’ve had something checked out at north computer on the circulation desk recently, you may have noticed our new receipt printer which shows which books you checked out that day and when they’re due. You can save that receipt on your refrigerator or bulletin board and have a list to check off when you return them. We plan to get another printer soon for the other check out computer and move away from the date due bookmarks we’ve used for years. It will definitely save time for the library staff person who hand-stamped several hundred bookmarks a day.

Also coming late this year or early next year is computer registration software that will allow computer lab users to sign up for a computer without staff assistance and print management software which will better handle printing from the computer lab, reducing waste and user frustration. We’ll be telling you more about that as we get it set up.

Both just ways to make your library experience more enjoyable.
