But an automated material handling system used by librarians at the New Braunfels Public Library now takes the hassle out of sorting, makes the process easier and more efficient and helps get returned materials back into circulation as quickly as possible.
According to Digital Services Librarian Miranda Robbins, the system, manufactured by Minnesota-based TechLogic Inc., detects and sorts the materials as they are returned by patrons on a conveyor belt using radio frequency identification technology.Â
The machine then places the items into bins by type or subject, such as adult fiction books, childrenâs fiction books, non-fiction books and DVDs.
