Switzerland-based Bibliotheca RFID Library Systems has introduced its BiblioHybrid systems, offering libraries a solution for both security and patron self-service needs. BiblioHybrid solutions feature Bibliotheca’s BiblioChip RFID technology, but also work with electromagnetic (EM) bar code and other RFID systems to ease the transition to RFID.
BiblioGate Hybrid security gates trigger alarms when patrons attempt to exit without properly checking out materials, detecting library materials fitted with EM bar codes and RFID tags. The new BiblioGate Hybrid is designed to offer a solution for libraries transitioning to an RFID-based system and in need of a security gate that will safeguard their mixed-media collections during the changeover.
Bibliotheca’s Biblio SelfCheck Hybrid solution supports patron self-service for checking materials out and in, paying fines, extending due dates and other patron activities. The SelfCheck Hybrid also supports library collections that include materials fitted with both EM strips and RFID chips.
BiblioHybrid solutions offer sleek, user-friendly designs to add a visual appeal for library management and patrons as well as integrating with ILS systems to enhance efficiency for library staff. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/archive-4.gif)
