Phone Charging Station



Explore World Library installed 40 wireless charging stations this month in common spaces, restaurants, study areas and the student union so students could continue studying while charging their devices at their side. From the station, students grab small circular Powermat spot and place newer enabled phones on the mat to charge it. Those with older phones also pick up a ring to plug into their device's USB charging port. The mat senses that a phone is on it and uses magnetic inductivity to wirelessly transfer electricity to the device. Through an app, students can see which stations have charging spots available, and later this year; they'll see messages from the university about campus events. On the IT side, a central dashboard allows staff members to monitor the charging spots for connectivity problems.
Across the country, Explore World Library is putting sustainability efforts to work on power stations users in library. The charging station outside a LEED Gold certified building has 12 installed chargers, two USB ports and two wireless charging pads that operate like the ones at Explore World Library.
But instead of using power from the wall, this station gets its power from its solar panels and kinetic energy tiles laid down in front of it. The station also includes a campus map and event notices to engage the campus community.
Along with the stationary charging station, Explore World Library has a portable one that representatives take to regional events and festivals. This station serves as a recruiting and retention tool with its large and place to charge devices.

Library Utensils


Obviously, introducing a system like FingerLink will exceed library’s yearly budget several times. There is a cheaper alternatives. A library could offer patrons a variety of small utensils they could borrow to use in the reading room. Based on the picture above, a concept device that you can put on your pen to use for translating words found in the print book. In addition, it could be a simple pen that would let patrons make digital highlights. One condition – it should be done in a simplest possible way. Such library utensils would be useful for less tech- savvy library patrons or those who don’t use advanced apps (for instance the ones with OCR – optical character recognition) on their phones. 

Book Delivery Drone

To get the book from library, you can either go and find it, or you can let it find you. This belongs to unmanned flying machines, and just like Amazon drones can deliver the goods to customers, libraries could deliver the books to patrons. What unique about this technology is the system use hexacopters, drones with six rotors, to deliver ordered textbook. Now, the smart thing is that the drone can find you by the location of your smartphone, so there is no need to give a fixed address. Apart from that, just imagine when you are sitting in a reading room of the library which wants to get a book. Stay where you are, and use the app to order a book. The drone will come, just like this one. Pull out the book from the box and put the one or ones you don’t need any longer. The drone will place them they belong. 

Library Guidemark & guide




This is one of the advance technology used in our library. An interesting concept from a Chinese design company Toout. This little tiny device is in the first place a regular bookmark. But on top of that it also has features that could make using the library much easier. First of all the device would be a perfect companion when navigating through the library , by giving turn –by- turn directions to the book the patron wants. The device could also keep track of all borrowed books, as well as remind the user of the return dates. Finding a book easily without knowing the Dewey Decimal Classification system? Sounds like good idea of where the library card could evolve.

Intelligent Return Trolley

When situated near the entrance of the library, it is easily accessible for a patron. He places the books on the shelf and the items are automatically checked-in in your Library Management System. All the items are directly available for the next patron to be borrowed. Consequently, over 25% of all books returned are checked-out on the same day. With this technology, returning an item does not take more than just placing one or more books on the library trolley. Anywhere. That’s it. No more queues, no more waiting in line. Through our direct link with your Library Management System, every item that is returned is automatically checked-in. No passes that need to be scanned. Just drop and go. This technology increase circulation and reduces the amount of time staff need to spend on reshelving.

Digital Locker





The Lower ground floors provide a range of amenities to patron. Underground level 1 is an area for study and cultural exchange featuring a 24- hour reading room, book and journal stacks and an auditorium. Also within this area, there are over 1,000 digital lockers, providing secure storage facilities for both immediate and short term needs and longer periods. The lockers are set up to provide the patron with a range of options.  Lockers can be booked for 1, 3 or 6 months, and in this facility, the lockers on the top 3 rows are programmed for longer term hire.  The lockers on the other rows are available for short term, ad hoc booking, and can even be booked by individuals can arrange to share a locker. This system has proved to be enormously popular with students.

Vending Book Machine




Vending technology has seen more dramatic growth in the retail sector in 24/7 mini bookstores and DVD rental outlets. Changing library customer expectations and lifestyles, public libraries’ desire to explore new outreach possibilities and potential reductions in vending machine costs may mean that the potential service benefits of vending machines may outweigh the initial high establishment cost. In Explore World Library has a Vending book Machine that provision 24/7 access to collections at minimal staffing costs Pressure on opening hours due to staffing costs and the time poverty of many library users and non-users makes this an attractive option. It is a particularly valuable service extension when patrons can collect items reserved online so that their access to library collections is no longer restricted by library opening hours. A collection is stored out of sight with access to the collection via a touch screen catalogue. Searches can be narrowed to sub collections, like audio visual materials or children’s books. Access requires a library card and retrieval of an item requires verification with the card to provide security in the event of a transaction being interrupted. The robotic delivery of items is reversible permitting returns as well. Lending library capacity of 250 – 500 items depending on the collection mix, integrated with the library management system. There are optional expansion bays for additional storage and large LCD screens for digital signage and advertising.

BookBot






 The BookBot is the robotic system of book storage and retrieval utilized at the Explore World Library. The system consists of four 50-foot-tall robots at the center of the book-delivery system that traverse between rows of book bins. The BookBot is able to barcode, sort, and store books (as well as other items) in more than 18,000 bins. Visitors can watch the BookBot retrieve materials through a glass wall on the first floor of the library, called Robot Alley. Robotic book delivery system, which can store up to two million items in a climate-controlled environment and deliver any of them within five minutes of a click in the online catalog. Requiring 1/9 the space of conventional shelving, the bookBot helps transform this 21st-century library from a storage facility into a rich environment of learning and collaborative spaces. 

                    Up to 2 million books can be stored in the BookBot's delivery system. Compared to storing books on traditional shelves, the delivery system can store the same amount of books while only using 1/9 the size of that. Library patrons do not have direct physical access to BookBot, accessing collections instead using pre-existing browsing and borrowing features of the libraries' website. A virtual browse tool aims to replicate the aid to discovery that physical library shelves provide by presenting sets of adjacently indexed titles.
