The Patron Search Screen is available regardless of whether the organization owns the Regular or the Plus version of ResourceMate®. Each Patron Search Screen station license is bought separately and allows the user to search the actual up-to-the-minute database contents.
Patron Search Screen is an ideal addition to a classroom, for example, or an associate's office. Using Patron Search Screens ensures that your library users cannot edit or delete your library data; they can only search.
Each installation of ResourceMate® includes the Patron Search Screen. It is not necessary to purchase a license for computers that have a full copy of ResourceMate® installed on them.
