Self-checkout machines – how much do they really get used? At the Murray Library, we decided to promote ours a little bit to encourage students to try them out. Since our machines are located in a darker space, surrounded by Learning Commons computers, we worried that students didn’t even know they were there. So we’ve brightened up the space, and made it a bit more fun. The self-checkout machines are now dressed up to look like they come from a grocery store, cookies, carrots and eggplant included.

Stop by the Murray ground floor to take a look, and let us know what you think! Ugliest promotion ever, or kinda fun?
