Narrative
In our continued commitment to provide access to our patrons, the FAU libraries would like to install keyless digital/smart lockers at both the Boca Raton and Jupiter campus sites. These secure and weatherized lockers would allow for safe and convenient contactless checkout and return of library materials and devices to all FAU students, faculty and staff on a 24/7 basis. Items such as books, DVDs, laptops, interlibrary loan and UBorrow requests would be checked out and placed in the lockers for easy access. A digital locker system would also allow for optimizing deliveries as well as gathering data on usage to meet our students’ needs. This customized service would prove advantageous to the entire FAU community. The estimated cost for a system is approximately $30,000, and the installation takes as little as 6-8 weeks.
