“Adding Polaris ExpressCheck to our library has increased customer satisfaction. Since people value their time almost as much as anything else, this is a great savings for them.”

Polaris ExpressCheckTM
An affordable self-check system that works the way you want.
Offering customized options and user-friendly features, Polaris ExpressCheck reads both barcodes and RFID tags while maintaining the security of a library's collection. Patrons can use this system to check out and renew materials without the assistance of a librarian. They can also use it to view and print account information. Since ExpressCheck can be used in either a wireless or hard-wired environment, it gives you a high level of flexibility at an extremely low cost. Polaris ExpressCheck is fully compatible with the Polaris Integrated Library System and - unlike traditional self-check units - does not rely on an intervening protocol (e.g., SIP) to communicate with the library's automation system. What's more, each library can configure the self-check station to conform to its circulation policies.
