Staff Station Reader
The Staff Station Reader functions as an interface to ILS and circulation activities for
library personnel. The Staff Station Reader reads RFID Circulation Circuits (tags) when a
book is placed on the reader at up to 12 inches (30 cm) from the reader in a vertical
direction. The Staff Station Reader communicates through data links with both the Library
Management System and ILS, providing library staff the ability to perform typical
functions with both the library system and RFID tagged items. For example, library staff
can find the status of RFID tagged items that have been processed by ILS.

Patron Self-Checkout Station II
The Self-Checkout Station enables a library patron to checkout library materials without
the assistance of the library staff. The system may report messages if there is a problem
conducting the checkout transaction; for example, overdue fines have locked the patron’s
account.
