Summary
[edit]
| Description |
There is an interesting conveyor that transports returning books. (Well - it interested listorama and me...) Here are some more details: " When a book, CD or other item is returned to the Central Library, it drops onto an automated conveyor system that carries materials through the ceiling to a sorting area near the loading dock. The book is actually checked back in to the Library's circulation system by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology - an RFID antenna detects an RFID chip on the returned book. Once the item is checked in, a machine orients it for its next destination: If it will stay at the Central Library or is a hold that will be picked up at the Central Library, it is routed to one of 12 machines that place items on book carts for re-shelving. If it is bound for one of the branch libraries, it is routed to a series of motorized bins for truck delivery to the branch locations. These bins have movable floors that raise or lower as items are added or removed. This feature prevents staff from having to bend and reach deep into the bin to remove items from the bottom. The Tech Logic system is able to process an average of 1,400 items per hour. The system also is used to handle materials returned to branch libraries. They are trucked to the Central Library, where they are checked in, sorted and re-routed."
