Self issue at GC LRC - what do you think?

Guildford LRC has now had its self issue kiosk installed for just over a month and it looks like staff and students are happy and impressed by our new system.

We have had over 970 issues, 803 returns and 89 renewals!

We also have a new drop box for items that need LRC Staff attention and a new trolley for returns.



Here are some of your comments about our new system please continue to let us know what you think!

"Quick, easy, fun!"

"Highly recommended! Easy, no fuss, quick and self-sufficient!"

"Pretty cool :)"

"Good, like ticket issued telling what you've taken out."

"FAB! We want more of them."

"Very impressive and great service."

"Very easy quick system! Useful receipt too! :)"

"Ohh fancy technology"

"More of them would be good, also to put a table next to it. Really easy to use."

If you haven't had a go yet why not pop in and see us? The LRC Staff are happy to show you what to do!
