Hi Carly,
I am currently working out a system for online checkout that seems
promising. I gained permission for the college library to use their
database. All I need is telnet and a barcode reader. The patron records
for the entire school are already in the system, and adding the item
records is a breeze, even for unusual "material types" such as digital
cameras, etc. All fines are handled by the library and the bursar.
I would recommend asking for training using Carleton's library database,
and they can also supply you with barcodes that fit in their number
sequence. The trickiest step might be a diplomatic initial inquiry :)
I would also make sure that the library tech services staff are satisfied
with your work and/or have the ability to check your additions to the
library database.
Hope this was helpful.
