Intelligent Return Shelving
smartShelf borrow turns library furniture into a modern marvel
Library users simply place returns on the shelf and technology does the rest - identifying the item, removing it from the user’s account, and enabling security, making it immediately available for recirculation.
smartShelf borrow is an affordable, compact automated returns solution for libraries of any size. Library users enjoy quick and convenient self-service returns and a browsable selection of recently returned items. Meanwhile, the automated returns reduce the time staff spend checking in and reshelving items, freeing them for more meaningful interactions in the library.
The small size and easy installation of the smartShelf borrow make it an ideal choice for libraries looking to benefit from automated returns without the expense or space requirements of a full Automated Materials Handling (AMH) solution.
There are many ways to process returns. Our team is here to help discuss the differences between all available options. We look forward to helping your library provide more access to materials and get items back on the shelf faster than ever before.
The skills behind a good reference interview are the same ones that make AI useful. A library director shows how, with five projects you can borrow.
