Self-service at UvA and HvA libraries
Published 26 August 2009
On 31 August, seven UvA libraries and four HvA media centres switched to self-service lending. With lending and returning machines visitors can borrow or return items without an employee.
Higher service level
With self-service all material is faster available. This technique combines security and identification of material and makes collection management easier.
Staff is still available to assist if neccessary and to answer questions. Staff can now concentrate on rendering other services, such as the production of digital readers and assisting by mail, telephone or UBAcoach.
