GUIDELINES FOR SELF-CIRCULATION KIOSK

Arrupe Central Library has implemented Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) enabled KIOSK. This latest technology is used to automate the book-handling process, including check-out, and inventory maintenance.

The technology would allow the readers to utilize the service of self ‘issue’ and ‘reissue’ books without standing in a queue.
