I have been tasked with exploring best practices in Library Self-Check.  Here in Missouri, the St Charles City-County Library District has a home-grown ILS.  We are planning to develop and launch Self-Check across our 12 Branches in the next 12 months.  Please consider contacting me directly at the email provided below with answers to these few questions.  Many thanks to all of you for continued consultancy.

• How long did your planning process for Self-Check take?
• Where are your Self-Check machines located?
• Do you have receipt printers at the Self-Check locations?
• What does your Self-Check screen(s) look like?
• If you could change anything about your existing Self-Check, what would you change?
• What percentage of your circulation is managed through Self-Check?
• How did you teach your customers/patrons to use Self-Check?
• How have you used the staff time freed up by implementation of Self-Check?
