RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Sept. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sentry Technology
Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SKVY) announced today the successful
installation of 8 QuickCheck(TM) patron self-service kiosks at the Omaha
Public Library. The library expects to increase circulation using
QuickCheck(TM) by as much as 50%.
QuickCheck(TM) operates in a similar fashion to a bank ATM. Patrons gain
access to the library's circulation software via a user card and touch screen
monitor. A barcode or RFID chip is read, security functions performed and a
receipt is printed to tell the patron what items have been borrowed and when
they are due to be returned. Once the process is complete, the patron exits
the library through the security system without any intervention from library
staff. The entire process is fast and frees library staff from the
circulation desk to perform higher-level tasks. The system includes
statistical usage report software as well as remote diagnostic control and
management over a local network and via the Internet.
"Sentry Technology installed 8 QuickCheck(TM) self check stations in 4
branches," said Ryvka K. Sass, Executive Director, Omaha Public Library.
"Stations have an intuitive and user friendly design with on screen operating
instructions that guide our patrons through the checkout process allowing them
to borrow any library item including CD's, DVD's, and video cassettes.
QuickCheck(TM) is fabulous!"
