What are the key advantages and disadvantages of the Book Drop style?
No change in patron behavior is required; patrons may continue to return items as they always have in the past. Multiple items may be dropped simultaneously. The Book Drop style return is relatively inexpensive and installation requirements are minimal. In some cases, the librarys existing book drop can be retrofitted to accommodate the RFID reader. The same style drop may be used for external (exterior wall) and internal (interior wall) installations. It is not recommended to be configured to provide receipts for patrons since items that do not have an RFID tag or whose RFID tag may have been damaged will not be detected.
