We just installed a set of smart lockers for 24/7 Hold Pickups. The vendor we chose uses a SIP2 connection to interact with Evergreen which can be encrypted using tunneling.
In our case, patrons scan their library cards to open their assigned locker instead of using a code. Once the locker opens, the checkout is recorded in Evergreen through the SIP connection, and the record for that locker is cleared from the database residing on the kiosk computer built into the lockers. *Dustin Mobley *| Technology Coordinator Public Library of Johnston County & Smithfield 305 East Market Street | Smithfield, NC 27577 [email protected] | www.pljcs.org 984.230.4446 | Direct Dial 984.985.BOOK | Library 919.934.8084 | Fax On Mon, May 23, 2022 at 3:19 PM Gina Monti via Evergreen-general < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > We're about to have a conversation with a company that offers pickup > lockers as a service (something like curbside pickup but they send a code > for patrons to use to unlock and retrieve their items outside of the > building).
