<p>Hello,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>auto-loans would require dedicated hardware to scan the IDs of the loaned (or returned) objects. Mostly 'RFID' is used for this purpose, small electronic tags which contain more information than just a magnetic strip, allowing the software to identify the
object and mark it as loaned (or returned) in the loans-transaction database. Most implementations use the protocol 'sip2' for such hardware/software interaction.<br>
</p>
<p>In ABCD2.1 we added a folder (in htdocs/central) 'sip2' which has the basic scripts and a brief documentation (in Spanish) for RFID-use in ABCD, developed by Mauricio Brito of UCuenca (Ecuador) as a client-server setup, but as far as I know it was never
fully used or tested in real situations. A simple 'plug-and-play' solution will never be available since the implementation is fully based on the hardware used, so it is much easier to offer as a feature in 'full packages' of library systems which come with
their own hardware and even installation-team. <br>
</p>
<p>So, if you need this in ABCD : it is possible but will need a lot of preparation and implementation work.

<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone!<br>
<br>
Does ABCD allow auto loans by OPAC? I know that there is an option that enables reservation, but is it possible to borrow too?<br>
If so, how to configure it?
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am using ABCD version 2.1<br>
<br>
Thank you for your attention,<br>

<div>¡Hola a todos!<br>
<br>
¿ABCD permite préstamos para automóviles por parte del OPAC? Sé que hay una opción que permite la reserva en línea, pero ¿es posible pedir prestado también?<br>
Si es así, ¿cómo configurarlo?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Estoy usando ABCD versión 2.1</div>
<div><br>
Agradezco la atención,<br>
