Come and see Tech Logic’s new self-check experience

Tech Logic’s “selfCIRC” family is expanding! Visit booth #947 for a sneak peek at our new self-check kiosk and our streamlined self-check software experience.

Our new kiosk, selfCIRC FOCUS, is for libraries who want a streamlined, modern aesthetic that centers around robust, flexible UX. This is perfect timing because our team has also been streamlining Tech Logic’s circIT SUITE self-check software. Come and see what we’ve been working on!

"Do our shelves match our catalog?" — Restoring ILS accuracy with RFID

Whether you’re a public, school, academic, or special library—ALL libraries know the battle for ILS accuracy. Are we doomed forever to repetitive searches and tedious lists? To find out, you can join our Principal Librarian/Strategist Gretchen Freeman, TLC's Steve Mackey, and Dr. Melissa Frost from Rochester City School District at ALA's Tech Talk Stage (booth #248). This session will center around the ways in which RFID helps libraries remove exception items immediately from the stacks, accomplish lightning-fast inventory, and more.

And, just between us—after the session, you'll want to scan your badge for some of the best Equal Exchange chocolate you've ever encountered!

Our AMH show machine, Rosie, will be back for more

We're bringing our automated material handling (AMH) system to the show floor at ALA 2025 in order to show an example of how your totalAMH system can work for your space.

As some of you know, we've affectionately chosen the name "Rosie" for this AMH system. Rosie resembles a caterpillar and, like most caterpillars, this caterpillar's favorite is to eat as much as she can, as fast as she can. All throughout ALA weekend, Rosie will be sorting library materials for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

Please come and feed Rosie a delicious stack of library items. Because our totalAMH systems require no patron or staff interface (folks can simply drop items and go) Rosie has more room to dine on her favorite literature!

Check out our selfCIRC LOCKERS and other library tech

We'll have our holds pickup lockers at the booth, as well as our self-checkout systems, security gates, shelf management system, and web-based central management portal.

Some things you should know about our selfCIRC LOCKER systems:

• They're ILS-integrated
• They're managed through a central, web-based system
• They prioritize a streamlined, common-sense workflow for both staff and patrons

Make sure to check them out!
