We want to have the current EG self check module developed to make it more on par with self check software by other major vendors. However, our host cannot guarantee access to a new development for up to 2 years - which includes development, pushing to the overall EG community and then waiting until our consortium will accept that version. We would rather not pay for something and have to wait that long.
So, the thought was, since EG is open source, would it be possible to host our own version of the EG self check module (whether that means we have to spin up an entire EG server or not), pay a developer to improve it and use that instead. That being said, it would have to point to our consortium's databases for patron and item data. It is a long shot, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. -Nick On Tue, Sep 16, 2025 at 2:41 PM Jason Stephenson <[email protected]> wrote: > Nicholas, > > Could you clarify what you mean by "a locally hosted version of EG's > selfcheck module?"
