A Virtual Library Card is now available within the meeScan app, making it even easier for patrons to use the library.

​This feature offers library users the convenience of having a scannable library card readily available in their device.  The user card is stored within the meeScan app and always on hand for identification.  

With a digital library card there is no longer the need to carry a physical library card.  Now that’s convenient!


To enable this feature for your library, contact our service team at libraries@bintec.ca.

You may have heard that meeScan is the easiest way to check out library books, magazines, DVDs and all kinds of library items without staff intervention.  

After a simple, one-time login, library patrons are all set to checkout materials with their phone or tablet. But, did you know? In addition to self-checkout, meeScan now provides a whole range of new features designed to expand the use of the system and enhance user experience.

Library patrons can now also check the status of their checked-out items, search the catalog, request and renew materials to avoid late fees, and pay library fines all through meeScan.  

Stay tuned! Additional information regarding how to configure new available features will be made available soon to the meeScan community.

meeScan was recently showcased in the American Libraries Magazine.  The article, written by Carrie Smith on July 19, 2017, features library staff time saving technologies and new labor-saving services. 
 
"Self-checkout is an established way to save staff time, but it often comes with a large investment in hardware and software.  Bintec Library Services has introduced meeScan, a mobile-based self-checkout system.

Patrons download an app (available for iOS, Android, and BlackBerry) onto their smartphone that, based on geolocation, identifies the library branch they are in.  After scanning or entering their library card information, patrons scan an item’s barcode to check it out from anywhere in the library."
