Re: [Koha] anyone using rfid, robot sorter, or self checkout interfaces?
Christopher - I think the folks at Ann Arbor District Library have done some work with rfid and Koha. I'm not sure if they watch this list -- you might drop an e-mail to eli@aadl.org if you don't hear from them first. As for self-checkout, I think that will require SIP2 support, which is still on the way for Koha. Stephen Hedges Director, Nelsonville Public Library 95 W. Washington St., Nels.,OH 45764 (740) 753-2118 fax (740) 753-3543
Pardon me if this is a FAQ. A group of us at the University at Buffalo are working on a proposal to test various interfaces between radio frequency ID self-checkout machines and library software in our learning lab. Our vision includes the use of hand held devices by patrons and staff, as well as patron self checkout systems and perhaps robot sorters. I would like this to be an all Linux (or some sort of *nix) system, right down to palmtops like the Sharp Zaurus. However, right now, I am wondering if anyone is using any self checkout devices or sorters with Koha?

Christopher - I believe Clive Robertson out of Melbourne, Australia has been looking into getting older 3M selfcheck gear to run with Koha as the frontend. His email address from the Koha postings: cliver <cliver@alphalink.com.au> From my own experience, we ran 3M selfcheck software using SIP1 up until very recently (2001). - Erik On March 16, 2003 07:58 am, Stephen Hedges wrote:

BUT NOT ON KOHA - sorry, missed the implication that it was on Koha in the first post.
