At one point my library looked at getting one of the machines that vended books but in the end we did not. I am glad that we didn't. I think that human contact is something we all need and by checking out materials from a person that contact happens.Rachel Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823535313109517659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181571259177867646.post-65863428475110454952017-04-29T18:31:51.211-07:002017-04-29T18:31:51.211-07:00Hi Lisa, Thank you for your thoughts.

It is really nice to see that you are reaching out to patrons in ways that make them feel like they aren't 'bothering' anyone.

I can see a few difficulties: one would be families that all check out on the same card making it too many books with too many types - the recommendations would make the receipt far too long. A similar problem occurs with patrons who check out a lot of items at one time. Would the recommendations be 1 per item? Or perhaps limited to 2 per receipt? Not sure, but I definitely want to look into it more. I love this idea - Thanks for sharing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398029162725659917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181571259177867646.post-20574011791716740452017-04-23T00:49:01.939-07:002017-04-23T00:49:01.939-07:00Hi Suzanne,

More than likely the patron is going to have a receipt printed regardless, unless they are using self-checkout and they have an option not to print it; so why not have the receipt be even more beneficial (other than just telling them the due date of their materials?). This is definitely one of the more creative ideas I’ve read about and I think it’s great! It’s like having read-alikes attached to checking out of materials and you didn’t even have to do anything; other than checkout. <br />The Advisorial Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165836121582421026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181571259177867646.post-75117664171827494062017-04-21T11:00:03.276-07:002017-04-21T11:00:03.276-07:00Hi Jenna, Here is the link to the info. https://ww...Hi Jenna, Here is the link to the info. https://www.ebscohost.com/novelist/our-products/novelist-checkout<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398453750549837105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181571259177867646.post-66428236842461402532017-04-20T23:18:23.197-07:002017-04-20T23:18:23.197-07:00Wow, what a neat idea for the checkout receipts! ...Wow, what a neat idea for the checkout receipts!
