<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, everyone!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re exploring purchasing some self-checkout kiosks and would love to hear any and all recommendations and/or cautionary tales involving
<b>Alma/Primo</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone tried <a href="https://meescan.com/">Meescan</a>? (Our top choice so far.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our goals for self-checkout include improving patron privacy, reducing potential social anxiety, and increasing accessibility in locations where circulation desks aren’t always staffed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We like that Meescan is small and modular, relatively cheap and can work without a kiosk through a mobile app. However, it doesn’t have a way for patrons to return items (yet), which would be useful at our unstaffed locations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any other ideas out there?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks and obligatory apologies for cross-posting,<o:p></o:p></p>
