Hi Lisa, Any old PC or laptop is suitable for running Koha's self-check module provided it has an internet connection (of course) and an up to date web browser. A port for plugging in a barcode scanner is nice and it sounds like you also want to connect a cheap printer. The module is well documented in the manual. This module is not as robust as the dedicated self serve stations from major suppliers but it's big bucks cheaper. We found it works best where trust and competence are higher. That is, it's better for corporate situations than in education - staff are more reliable (often) than students. Print out reset instructions and paste them on the wall. I hope this helps, Bob
