Introducing Off-Site Capability

1/13/2021

 
meeScan is predominantly used inside the library to allow patrons to check out items. As self-checkout transactions must be associated with a specific location, this requires location services and geolocation.

In light of library closures leading to increased use of meeScan outside the library, and to facilitate new and upcoming features, meeScan can now be used outside the library. Off-site support allows patrons to log in to meeScan and use features that don’t require location, such as viewing their account summary and visiting the My Library tab.

As long as patrons have the updated version of the meeScan app (3.4.0), off-site capability is enabled automatically. 

Self-checkout remains unavailable when off-site, with a message to notify patrons. 
Version: 3.4.0 (iOS & Android) 

Availability: Now

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.



New Features available now and coming soon!

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. 

To learn more about meeScan mobile-based self-checkout systems, contact us at libraries@bintec.ca.
