Booth visitors unlocked prizes from Tech Logic's new selfCIRC LOCKER hardware

Our new selfCIRC LOCKER hardware brings upgraded construction, simplified installation and maintenance, and new optional add-ons, all while keeping our intuitive, ILS-integrated software workflow. Booth visitors spun our prize wheel for their blue, white, or gold library card. Then, they scanned their card at the selfCIRC LOCKER to pick up their "hold," aka, their prize!

Our selfCIRC LOCKER system keeps the library’s ILS in charge—everything from rules, to item statuses, to item checkout, to patron due dates, to notifications. The selfCIRC LOCKER simply integrates with the library’s ILS as an additional holds pickup location within the catalog. Our new hardware, built in partnership with Smarte Carte, Inc., is factory-designed for robust, long-lasting use both indoors and outdoors.

Showcasing Tech Logic’s new self-check experience

Tech Logic’s “selfCIRC” family is expanding! At the booth, we got to show visitors 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.

Our AMH show machine, Rosie, was back for more

We brought our automated material handling (AMH) system to the show floor at ALA 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, Rosie munched on library materials for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
