Self-service kiosks

A request for information rather than a post specifically to do with 23 Things this time.
We're look at implementing self-service kiosks in our libraries and possibly other heavily used university spaces. This would be a user-friendly, streamlined service to offer our customers and would extend the self service provision we can offer in different locations where we have not been able to directly offer services before. The kind of services that might be offered could be:


  • ·        Check/Renew library loans
  • ·        Pay fines online
  • ·        Check Library PIN
  • ·        Check library catalogue
  • ·        Buy printing credit online
  • ·        Check printing credit
  • ·        See which computer rooms are free
  • ·        Set up wireless
  • ·        Set up printers
  • ·        Check password
  • ·        Register MAC address
  • ·        Change password
  • ·        Register firewall holes
  • ·        Student record/timetable
Has anyone else implemented a similar service? I'd be very grateful if you could get in touch and let me know exactly what services you've been able to implement. Please either comment below or email me at nrj@aber.ac.uk . I'll post results up on this blog if I get enough responses.
Thanks
