[Koha] anyone using rfid, robot sorter, or self checkout interfaces?

[Stephen Hedges]

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 at 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.
