EasyService - Borrow and Return DIY
EasyService is now available in the Library! EasyService is in fact self-service. The Library
is introducing different EasyService applications in phases to empower
its users to check in and check out library materials by themselves.
It's fast, easy and private!
All CityU and SCOPE smartcard holders (staff and students) as well as barcode
library card (e.g. JULAC Card, Alumni Library Ticket, Friends of the
Library Membership Card) holders with borrowing privileges can make use
of the different EasyService applications.
EasyService applications can be found at the following locations and are all
under CCTV surveillance.
Locations of EasyService Applications
Circulation Counter
ALL circulation books, except short loan items and books with CD-ROMs enclosed
inside, can be checked out by the users themselves with the four sets
of SelfCheck units at the Circulation Counter. Student ambassadors are
around to provide assistance. The SelfCheck units are barcode-operated.
Users need to scan the barcode of each book one by one according to the
instructions on screen. The SelfCheck units are available anytime the
Library is open.

The
EasyService applications inside the Semi-Closed Collection Room are self-developed
by the Library and the Wireless Communications Research Centre of the
University. The system is branded as the EasyCheck System™ and is
developed with the latest RFID technology that makes borrowing multiple
items in one single transaction possible. All materials inside the Semi-Closed
Collection must be checked out and checked in via the
EasyCheck System™ and the System is available whenever the Collection is open. |
Media Resources Collection
The EasyService applications inside the Media Resources Collection Room are also
RFID-based. They enable users to checkout materials (DVDs, VCDs, CDs,
CD/DVD-ROMs and kits) inside the Collection by themselves. Several items
can be borrowed in a single transaction. All discs inside the Collection
are locked up in individual cases. Users need to use the automatic unlockers
to open the case after successsfully borrowing the desired items with
the automatic checkout machines inside the Collection. Materials need
to be returned via the automatic return unit called EasyReturn located
outside the Collection Room. |
