How can I use self-checkout for books?
Biddle Meescan App
The self-checkout app can be downloaded from the app store of any Apple or Android smart phone or tablet.
Search for "Biddle Meescan" in your Apple App store or Google Play App Store.
Get Starting Using the App
- Install and open the app on your phone.
- Tap the Net ID field to automatically browse to the Pennkey login page and login using your active Pennkey and Pennkey Password. Complete the two-step verification process this first time you log in OR if you have logged out from your app.
- Once you have authenticated, the app will take you back to the home screen. You should see your full name on this screen if you have logged in successfully.
Checking Out an Item
- Give the app permission to access your phone's camera and enable GPS tracking. The camera is needed to scan the item's barcode.
- Tap the start button to begin the loaning process. Then tap the "+" sign on the screen.
- The camera will open. Line up the red line on the screen with the barcode of the book. You should hear a beep noise.
- Scan all items, then tap the "Finish" button to confirm your loans.
MeeScan Kiosk
There is also a checkout kiosk on the 5th floor of Biddle.
