Advantages of self-service loan and return system

The self-service borrowing and returning system is a new type of working system which is connected by the system data link between the library automation system and the self-service borrowing and returning system. It helps the library to improve the circulation rate and simplify the borrowing and returning process under the limited human resources. It is a new working system which can improve the productivity of library staff and the service quality of the library.

Advantages of self-service loan and return system:

1. Save a lot of manpower and material resources, reduce the labor intensity of library staff after the use of RFID technology, there is no need for the librarian to repeat the light pen scanning bar code once a day, readers can put the books together in the self-service machine induction area to complete the borrowing and returning task at one time, that is, simplify the borrowing and returning process, but also alleviate the queuing, cumbersome procedures and other problems. The process of borrowing and returning books is more smooth, convenient and free.

2. It is helpful for library staff to shift the focus of their work to the deep level of service. The self-service book borrowing and returning system reduces the low-level and repetitive labor of librarians, freeing up time to provide more and deeper services for readers. Librarians have more time to guide readers in the correct use of collection resources, help readers find books, answer readers' consultation questions, and guide readers in reading and learning, so that librarians can transform from the "setter" of traditional collection documents into "searcher" and "navigator" of new collection information and knowledge.

3. Add humane service means to improve reader satisfaction and reduce friction between readers and library staff. The self-service book borrowing and returning system encourages readers to actively participate in the operation mode of borrowing and returning books, which reduces some friction caused by frequent contact between readers and library staff and causes undue contradictions; Second, it protects the reader's personal privacy, solves some embarrassing situations, and appears comfortable and relaxed when borrowing and returning books with more sensitive topics; Moreover, readers are emphasized the subject status, improve the initiative, feel that they are the owners of the library, will more consciously accept the constraints of the rules and regulations of the library, and invisibly enhance the affinity between the library and readers.

4 Increase the circulation of the collection of documents The increase in the satisfaction of the reader's service, the number of visits to the library naturally increases, and the love degree of the book is also constantly increased.

In this humanistic and harmonious environment, the utilization rate of books will also increase, and the circulation will inevitably increase, which also reflects the main position of the library to comprehensively promote the reading of the whole people. The 24-hour, unmanned library with self-checking and returning machines is convenient for readers who cannot check and return books during library opening hours.

5. Create a new chapter of library service and establish a new service image of library Library service model has experienced the traditional manual book loan and return service, automation service and modern library intelligent service model. Compared with other service modes, the self-service loan and return service mode has fundamentally changed the service concept of the library, transforming "heavy collection and light use" into "both use and combination of collection and use ", and has improved the service efficiency and management level of the library.

We believe that with the continuous development of modern information technology, the function of the self-service borrowing and returning machine will be more perfect, and the self-service borrowing and returning system will better play its due effect and become an essential and important way in the library service work. Huaxi Seiko has a number of invention patents and functional patents of self-service loan and return machine, welcome to inquire at any time.
