RFID self-service
Improving self-service with the introduction of RFID
During February and March 2021 Library Services will install new RFID self-service machines across our libraries.
Our new self-service machines will enable users to borrow and return multiple items simultaneously, resulting in quicker transaction times and contact-free loans.
Installation works will start at our campus libraries in February and we plan to deliver the machines to the Central Library in March. Each library will close for a period of time to allow enabling works to take place. The closure period will vary depending on the work required.
Look out for updates at Our libraries and on Twitter.
