[Evergreen-general] Pickup Locker Question

[Dustin Mobley]

We just installed a set of smart lockers for 24/7 Hold Pickups.  The vendor
we chose uses a SIP2 connection to interact with Evergreen which can be
encrypted using tunneling.

In our case, patrons scan their library cards to open their assigned locker
instead of using a code.  Once the locker opens, the checkout is recorded
in Evergreen through the SIP connection, and the record for that locker is
cleared from the database residing on the kiosk computer built into the
lockers.
