Library Offers Self-Check Out Option With App
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Public Library has incorporated updated technology to give patrons an easier way to check out materials. Recent upgrades allow patrons to use smartphone apps at the Library’s 57 self-check stations, where they can scan in their library card number directly from their phone or tablet for a faster and more convenient checkout process. A number of new smartphone apps, such as CardStar and Keyring, let individuals integrate and store information from retailers, pharmacies, and even libraries. After downloading an app, patrons can store their library barcode number in the app and tag it to the Indy Library. Such products are available on the iPhone, as well as Android, BlackBerry and Windows smartphones. The added benefit is that these apps eliminate the need to carry multiple loyalty cards on one’s keychain or in a wallet.
The IndyPL Mobile site (www.imcpl.org/m/) allows patrons to access the Library’s catalog of materials, request and renew items, manage their accounts, search for Library locations and check upcoming Library events. The site also allows users to offer feedback to help the Library improve its services.
