[CASL-L] Library Trac?

[Hsiang, Sara]

I use have used Library Trac for years. I'll add:
With Covid, we also started the remote study hall passes instead of paper
passes. Students sign up using a provided QR code on their own with a phone
or Chromebook. There are a limited # of slots, and you can cheange them
according to your needs. After they sign up for a slot, they screenshot the
pass (below) and show it to study hall teachers/hall security. When they
arrive in the library, they sign in via another QR code (or computer
station if you have it) to confirm arrival. The provided QR codes are
different each day to eliminate abuse. All teachers, admins, security have
access to see who has a pass, and who actually arrives.
It takes a bit of setup, depending on how you are using it.
I find it very worthwhile, and I'd pay for it out of pocket (might come to
that with all these budget cuts LOL).
