The Intelligent Library System 2.6 (ILS) is an integrated security tracking and database
system that maintains a library’s collection using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
to wirelessly coordinate the subscription status of library materials. This protects
collections, streamlines operations, and improves patron service. When using ILS,
libraries reduce losses, enhance staff productivity, increase circulation flow, and improve
patron satisfaction. ILS operates in conjunction with the library’s Library Management
System (LMS) or Automated Circulation System (ACS).
ILS includes the following components:
• Circulation Circuit (inventory tag)
• Patron Identification Card
• Intelligent Sensor
• Patron Self-Checkout Station
• Staff Station Reader
• Intelligent Library Controller (Application Server)
• Portable Reader (optional)
• Exception Ticket Printer (optional)
• ILS Remote Monitor (optional)
• CheckVIEW (optional)
• CheckPASS (optional)
