Book Return Systems

The 3M™ SelfCheck™ System C-Series helps libraries with increasing circulation improve productivity and customer service. With its real-time check-in feature and easy-to-use interface, customers and staff can be sure items are instantly checked in upon return. The indoor/outdoor book drop options offer added convenience and the system can be connected to a 3M™ Digital Library Assistant, allowing staff to download exceptions for pulling holds and transits. Items are returned to the shelves quickly, so popular materials can be checked out more often.

The system automatically continues to function and retain information if the network or integrated library system goes offline. And with web-based remote monitoring and diagnostics, staff can troubleshoot and obtain system statistics from any location. With the C-Series, libraries can monitor the number of returns and schedule staff during peak periods, when the system has the highest return rate.
