Well the wait is over. As of 3pm today DBS Aungier Street Library is now Ireland's 1st fully RFID enabled academic* library.
All issuing and returning of items is now to be done using the express Check-in/Check-out machines. Once you have scanned your student card items to be borrowed or returned should be placed on the express machine pad, the items' RFID tags will be read automatically issuing or returning them to your account and desenstitizing or resensitizing them as appropriate - no need to scan individual barcodes.
Staff are on hand to demonstrate how to use the system and we will be running some promotional events when the new term begins but already students are issuing and returning items unaided and have been impressed by how quick and easy the new system is.
Right now there is just one Check-in/Check-out machine in place but we will have a second express machine installed within 2 weeks. A new demo video on how to use the RFID systems is also in the works.
Library staff would like to say a big thanks to all the students and staff of the college for your patience while we made the transition to the new RFID system.
So come in and try it out!
*Anyone who's used South Dublin County Library in Tallaght will know they are also fully RFID self check
