Integration

Public Library – Integration with PaperCut MF Print and Copy Management

iTS has worked closely with the developers of the leading print management solution, PaperCut MF, to provide public libraries with an integrated print and copy solution. For public library computer systems this integration removes the need to use the PaperCut MF popup client for authentication and ensures that the library patron logged on to the PC (via the MyPC client) is charged for their print jobs. This integration also permits users to utilise their library management system credentials to logon to multi-functional devices, kiosks, value loaders and the PaperCut MF portal. If the library charges for PC usage MyPC can also offer an optional Charging Module which together with the PaperCut MF integration allows users to pay for PC usage using the funds in their PaperCut account.

What our customers say?

Students are taking control of their own learning and booking computers in advance when they know they will need one. We’d never go back to the old system now. We mainly bought MyPC as a way of controlling bookings, which it does very effectively, but we didn’t expect the other things that came with it – mostly, the improved behaviour of students and a more studious atmosphere throughout the LRCs.

Newcastle-under-Lyme- College

Our previous booking system had not been web based…Since MyPC is, it is far easier to manage and if we lose a desk pc we just drop in another pc with a standard web browser and off you go. At first I was concerned that the new system would present our staff with a steep learning curve that could have overwhelmed them – especially those that had no experience of using a booking system. However, after the first week, we were pleasantly surprised that all learning centre staff were using it without any major issues.

Chesterfield College

We have been using MyPC for over 18 years. It is the perfect computer booking system which is easy to implement and configure. It allows you to zone your library to suit your needs offering quiet, walk up and advance booking areas. It helps create a studious learning environment. The staff and service are always outstanding.
