Replacing GATE Register with SOUL 2.0 using Barcode Scanner
Friends I have replace in my Library for entering the name of the users from Gate Register to Member Log-in Option of SOUL 2.0. That means every member who entered in our Library must have to produce their Library Master card (generated with SOUL 2.0) which we scan through Bar-code reader to get them Log in. As a result we are able to calculate a very Good Statistics of Users visiting the Library daily, for a semester or even for a year. This is very excellent technique to re-engineer our system of maintaining the Statistics of our users.
Show Users Card which consist of Username(Barcoded) at the Entrance of the Library. There is an Option in SOUL 2.0 at Circulation-Member Log In-Scan It through Bar code Reader-Log In when the users enters. When the Users come out just Scan another time. and Log out the user.
Users can also be provided an Orientation to self Log In and Log Out for those library where there is no any Gate Keeper. Remember there is no any requirement of any Users password.
At Last Thanks to the Sri.Wooma Sankar Devnath Sir, Librarian of KKHL, Gauhati University for suggesting me to do so.
