An OpenSource Selfcheck system that is FAST, intuitive and - Free Software!
This repository offers enhancements against the code from late code.google.com/p/open-source-self-check (see Wiki for details)
Needed: a Library System with SIP2 connectivity allowing checkout(/in)
The Hardware at the desk: A PC with a browser, even a ThinClient will do. We use Wyse T50 in some installations. Minimum: a barcode reader acting as USB HID, can be used for patron cards and items. Barcodes can be discriminated syntactically.
Optional, for bulk checkout/checkin: A RFID Reader which handles reading and (un)locking, we use an OpenSource Java tool named JkbdRF.jar
Optional, for RFID patron cards: An RFID HID device, reading the UID off the local cards, we use programmable readers TWN4 Mifare NFC USB
