Hello all, I am asking again if anyone has information to share about people counters. I had more requests for sharing info than actual info shared. I’m aware of the zoom presentation by SenSource coming up next week. Does anyone use anyone/anything else?

We’re interested along the whole spectrum. We used to have an infrared interrupt the beam sort of counter until it stopped working, and currently we use a manual clicker where staff click for each person coming in the doors. If your library counts patron visits, how do you do it? If you have a machine/service, what type/brand do you use and how much did/does it cost?

I will share results with the listserv. Thanks for your time!

Subject: [Michlib-l] door counters

I know this has been discussed before, but it’s been a while. We’re looking to add/upgrade our door counters. If your library uses door counters to count patron visits, what type/brand do you use and what’s the cost?

If there’s interest, I can compile and share information.
