Library Self-Service Kiosk (Self-Service Book Borrowing and Returning Machine)

Provides round-the-clock self-checkout and check-in services, allowing users to borrow and return books at any time.

Users can easily complete the borrowing and returning process with a few simple steps on the touchscreen.

Compared to traditional manual services, the self-service kiosk significantly enhances the efficiency of book borrowing and returning, reducing waiting times.

The Library Self-Service Kiosk operates primarily based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, computer technology, and network technology. The self-checkout and check-in kiosk typically consists of components such as a touchscreen, reader/writer, controller, printer, and storage compartments.

Users can input query criteria through the touchscreen, and the kiosk retrieves book information from the library management system based on the user’s input, displaying the results on the screen. After selecting the desired books, the user places the books on the reader/writer, which scans the RFID tags on the books and automatically verifies whether the information matches the user’s selection. If the verification is successful, the kiosk prints a borrowing receipt to complete the checkout process.
