WHAT IS BOOKMATE™ AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

BookMate™ is a system consisting of a Computer Powered Kiosk which has a Touch Screen, Barcode Reader or Fingerprint Reader and a RFID Reader. BookMate™ plugs into your Network and interfaces with your existing Library System. Books are Checked Out and In just like they were scanned with a barcode scanner, only faster - and by your students, not the Librarian. Each book is labeled with a RFID label inside the front or back cover, which has the barcode number encoded in it. When the book is “read” by the RFID reader, it matches the barcode with the BookMate™ software. It checks out the book to the proper student, just as if the barcode was scanned on your existing Library System. If you don’t have an existing database, then BookMate™ can interface with ATM’s MasterTrak Plus. The beauty of RFID is that multiple books can be scanned at once. With RFID, self Check In and Check Out stations are possible where barcodes must be seen and scanned, one at a time.
