bibliotheca Offers Hours Solution

摘要

Technology and automation vendor bibliotheca has launched open+, an access and security solution that enables libraries to expand open hours to times when the library is unstaffed. The system includes an external panel that scans and authenticates a patron's library card barcode via the integrated library system (ILS) to admit them into the building; security cameras to monitor activity during open+ extended hours; an integrated public address system to broadcast messages or alerts; power management features to turn on or off remotely lights, alarms, or library equipment such as public computers and self-service kiosks; and a web-based scheduling and management interface.
