III Self-Check (WAS: Vernon Self Check)

["Lisa Jones" <ljones at ci dot aurora dot co dot us>]

All of you III users should contact your III sales person before you purchase ANY self-check machine.  III has self-check software (you supply the hardware) that will be available with release 2005 that is VERY reasonably priced and looked very good when I saw it was demonstrated.

We are actively and very serously looking into the "ID Systems" 
self-check equipment. Their company site is at

>But very related to your setup at mls - what model/manufacturer is your Vernon self-check unit? We found out recently that 3M is discontinuing maintenance in Dec 2005 for the older 5220 self-check unit that we have. The standard 3M pricing for new equipment is very expensive, and I know that I am going to have to do a very thorough investigation of alternatives. I see from the Vernon web site, that they are apparently the parent company for Integrated Technology Group  that sells the Apex XpressCheck(tm).  Is this what your library is using?

>For other III users - Has anyone migrated their self check units from 3M to Vernon or any other company? What was your experience with the new self-check vendor? Were there III costs for the migration as well as the self-check system costs? I know that I am stretching the topic for the III list, but I'd appreciate any guidance on this.
