This month we will be introducing Macintosh iMacs to all the branches for public use. Each branch will have two iMacs equiped with Microsoft Office software, however printing will not be available from the iMacs until the new printing and photocopying solution is in place.
Watsonia Library will be the first branch to go live with the new printing and photocopying self service system. This will allow patrons to print and photocopy in black & white or colour, in A4 or A3 sizes, single sided or duplex.
A new self-service touch screen kiosk machine, a bigger brother to the current SelfCheck machines, is a key component of this system. Patrons will be able to interact with it and other equipment to add money to their library card account via cash or credit card, to pay for and release their print jobs, and check for and pay library fines.
These updates will be rolled out over the course of the month and into November.
