If any of the above rings a bell, then biometric identification of patrons is the solution for you



Why and when is Biometric ideal for Patron Identification in Libraries


  • Whenever the library user is not expected to be carrying the membership card and can access the library services even without a membership card.
  • Library membership is extenstive and it can be difficult to manage the identity of every member.
  • Whenever the library wishes to povide two factor authentication for patron identity and verification.
