At Your Service: March 2008 Archives

We are pleased to announce that Paley Library has two new state-of-the art self-check machines on the first floor of Paley underneath the portrait of Samuel Paley. The new machines now feature a two step procedure that allows all sizes of books to be checked out successfully. With the old check-out machines we found that many of our users were unable to use them for large books such as music scores and art history books. Size and barcode placement is no longer a problem.

The graphics on the screen make them very user-friendly and we hope that many more of our users will be able to take advantage of their convenience.
