Self-Service has come to Dame Street

Today we have finished installation of a self-service station at the Dame Street library, making DBS library 100% RFID enabled. I believe we are the first library in Ireland to have achieved this. Probably everyone has used the Aungier St. self-service stations, but if not, they're very simple to use: aks your friendly neighbourhood library staff if you are unsure of what to do.

Self-Service is coming to Dame St.

Last summer we introduced RFID self-service stations to Aungier St. It's no understatement to say that they have been a big success. It's also no understatement to say that you'd like Dame St. to go self-service. too. Next month we will be granting your wish. However to facilitate this, we will have to close Dame St library from the 16th to the 20th of August. As this is a time when some of you will be furiously working on dissertations, we plan to ship all the theses held in Dame St library down to Aungier St. so that they are still accessible when the library is closed. A reminder will appear nearer the time

Self-Service x2

After a difficult period, where we thought we'd ended up with a very expensive paperweight, we're pleased to say our 2nd RFID self-check machine ("Louis Mathieu") is now functional.

There's also added functionality now - you can now do unseen renewals - that's technical jargon for renewing books that you don't have with you. Touch 'Renew Items' or 'Account Info', scan your card and touch 'Renew Items' on the bottom right of the screen. A list of your loans will appear. You can renew books by touching the check box next to the book.
