SirsiDynix Makes Contactless Library Service Easier With BLUEcloud Mobile Updates
SirsiDynix unveiled new features for BLUEcloud Mobile: Patron Self-Service and Click-and-Collect. These optional workflows for any size library facilitate contactless circulation, with patrons using their mobile devices to check books in and out (Patron Self-Service) and engage in curbside pickup (Click-and-Collect).According to the press release, “Unlike other current curbside offerings, SirsiDynix’s Click-and-Collect functionality does not require appointments, but rather allows the patron to indicate that they are on their way to pick up their holds right then. Library staff have a staff interface they can access from a tablet, laptop, or desktop to manage the requests for pickup, including the ability to set library pickup hours, establish a parameter on the number of incoming patrons they can serve at a time, and fully customize it to fit how the library is planning on offering this service.” “COVID-19 has placed a strain on all existing workflows, and we are pleased to provide our customers with a solution that not only simplifies and streamlines the adaptations they’ve made, but also considers the safety of both library staff and the patrons they serve,” says Bill Davison, SirsiDynix’s CEO.
