New Self-Service and Security Solutions for Libraries (Photo: Business Wire).
bibliotheca's new product solutions have been designed for libraries of
all types, and offer the benefits of improved workflow, engaging
experience and improved performance.
selfCheck 500™, mid-range kiosk The new selfCheck
500 offers all the essentials of self-service in an attractive,
modern design. Available in both a kiosk and desktop version, the new
selfCheck 500 combines quality engineering with the quickConnect™
interface. This allows libraries to offer an engaging self-service
experience without all the extras of the premium kiosks.
New Tattle-Tape™ selfCheck and security gates Continuing to
set the benchmark for electromagnetic (EM) technology in libraries, the
new Tattle-Tape™
security gate and hybrid selfCheck 1000™ are the nextgeneration of
EM products. Along with improved design and performance for both
products, the Tattle-Tape gates offer the ability to customize display
panels. The hybrid selfCheck brings forward the trusted "V" design but
now offers new options of return bins and the large, portrait screen and
more.
flex AMH™ Providing AMH solutions for almost 15 years,
bibliotheca is excited to announce the new
flex AMH. This product has been redesigned from the ground-up
offering a new front-end, a bulk separator that allows patrons to return
multiple items at once, and improved sorting speeds. Additionally,
libraries that need to move items across multiple floors or buildings
can now benefit from a new transportation system that will help get
items back on the shelf.
CloudLibrary™ added features to connect with digitial users
-
Events management - Libraries can drive engagement and
bring digital users into the library by displaying their events
calendar inside the cloudLibrary
apps. Now integrated with several common calendar software products,
libraries can reach their digitial users directly on their personal
device.
-
Embedded library barcodes - This feature turns a
mobile device into a virtual library card by having the library user's
barcode embedded in their cloudLibrary app. Perfect for busy students
or parents, who might not remember their library card, but almost
always have their phone.
-
New Web Reader - Now anyone with a web browser can
access their cloudLibrary account through the yourcloudlibrary.com
web page. Browse, borrow and read or listen from any device. Libraries
can extend digital reading services to groups that might not have
devices, such as in-library reading groups, school reading or other
community outreach programs.
"We had a lot of excitement in 2016, our first year as the new
bibliotheca, as we brought together two diverse product sets into a
single portfolio." said Matthew Bellamy, Chief Commercial Officer for
bibliotheca. "The news today is just the beginning of what's to come as
we strive to partner with libraries to create solutions and experiences
that help them achieve their goals."
Along with a plethora of new products and features, bibliotheca is
pleased to receive the gold-level award from the Modern Library Awards
for the selfCheck 1000, quickConnect interface, remoteLocker and the
cloudLibrary. These products will also be available to demo in the booth.
With a demonstration of our new product set, we are giving away a
unique, hand-crafted gift while supplies last. Visit bibliotheca booth
1346 at the ALA MidWinter meeting, January 20-23 in Atlanta, GA.
