Hi James, I don't think it matters which 3M model of self check you use because they all rely on SIP. The 3M and Koha implementations of SIP are all worked out and there are several libraries using their self-checks. Not e-commerce, just the self-check. FYI, Tech-Logic and ITG also have Koha libraries using their self-check machines, also via SIP. Lori

hi Folks
are any libraries out there on KohaLand using 3M selfcheckout machines
if so... do they behave OK, and what specific models work well

NEKLS is using 3M self check machines. We have really only one minor problem, mostly they work well. Problems we see (and this may be totally a matter of library preference): items with holds aren't allowed to check out if the patron has the book in their hand (i.e. they got a book off of the shelf that some off-site patron had placed a hold on before a librarian got to it to pick it). That's really all I've got for right now. It used to be that things like Pokémon and books about Resumé's wouldn't check out, but I believe this has been fixed (much to our squeeing excitement). We also have 3M checkin chutes, with similarly trivial problems surrounding holds. SIP has come a long way in the 3 years we've been on Koha. Now, to make it work very well with Envisionware.... ;) Liz Rea NEKLS
