Hi

Beaufort library is looking at doing the same. How do you handle returns and 
checking these off the Patron’s account.

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.

  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).  The main 
focus of our discussion will be patron data extraction such as phone numbers, 
addresses, email addresses, etc.

Obviously, this is a privacy concern and we wanted to ask if other 
consortia/libraries have this experience.  Do you have pickup lockers?  Do you 
have some kind of policy in place with patron data extraction?  Love to know 
your thoughts.
