[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] RFID

[Jason Boyer]

That's what we're using currently, yes. They do offer self-checks, sorters,
and bookdrop checkin options, but we've not used any of those. We do hope to
get a selfcheck machine in the next year or so. There's also a disc vending
macine similar to a redbox, but between the weight (it's capable of being
installed outdoors) and it's being shipped from Europe, the price is
incredibly high.
