HUNTSVILLE, Ala.—October 18, 2005—SirsiDynix announced today that its Digital Community Center Kiosk™ was chosen by a panel of industry experts for inclusion in the “Panelists’ Picks” section of Library By Design, the fall 2005 Library Journal supplement on library interiors. The SirsiDynix Digital Community Center Kiosk extends valuable library and community resources to residents that might have limited access to the library’s physical site or online presence, offering self-service options 24 hours a day.

Library Journal’s panel of experts, comprised of architects, designers, and librarians, tested and recommended the best in library furniture and accessories. Described by the panel as having “an attractive, streamline design” and as “inviting to use,” the kiosk was dubbed the “Information ATM.”

Installed in convenient locations where people live, learn, and work – shopping malls, grocery stores, transportation centers, and other high-traffic locations – the kiosks provide easy touch-screen access to online services and information even to those unfamiliar with computers. The kiosk also offers print, fax, and email capabilities.
