Digital Library Card

Overview

The Digital Library Card tile shows your name (if present), full barcode, and card expiry date. You can present it at a service point for scanning or tap the barcode to copy the number if the scanner will not read the screen.

Key Actions

  • Show the barcode at checkout (increase screen brightness for a cleaner read)

  • Tap the barcode to copy the number (paste into staff workstation if manual entry is needed)

  • Check the expiry date if borrowing is unexpectedly blocked

Screen glare, matte protectors, or privacy filters can reduce scan reliability. Tilt the device or momentarily lift the filter to improve contrast.

If repeated scans fail even at full brightness, copy the number and have staff key it. Keeping a physical card (or a secure photo of the barcode) as backup can help when batteries run low.

Best Practice

Before approaching the desk, raise brightness briefly. This reduces retry time and queue delays.
