Achievements

• A design solution for a prototype for a short life one time use QR code generated by App on phone to facilitate Main Library access (authorisation for staff mediated entry, or electronic release of glass door) has been developed by Simon Chapple.
• A design solution for a prototype for registration of phone to facilitate access through Main Library speedlane has been investigated by Alan Sloane.

Issues

• No technical issues for QR code generation but operational issues to be resolved – for example, QR code could facilitate exit as well as entry but glass door exit by-passes book security detection system.
• InfoSec review of terms and conditions of use for administration tool for registration of phone to facilitate access through Main Library speedlane has revealed strong reasons not to adopt the solution.

Next Steps

• Prototype QR code generator to be built and tested.
• Alternative administration tool for registration of phone to facilitate access through Main Library speedlane that works with C*Cure and speedlane readers to be investigated.
