Library Services Quick Guide

Short of time, but need to check out some books? Forgot your ID? Have a new phone and just enjoy using apps? The Dacus Library Self Checkout app is for you!

To get started, download the app from Google Play or the App Store:

Once you have downloaded the app, be sure to enable camera and location services.

• Open the app and click the START button to log in.
• Click on the box labeled PATRON ID--this will take you to the Winthrop log in screens.

You will be prompted to enter your Winthrop e-mail and password (the same e-mail and password you use for Wingspan, BlackBoard and most other Winthrop sites). Make sure to use the "Next" and "Sign In" buttons on the log in screens.

Once you're logged in, you're ready to start checking out books!

Tap the "+" sign in the top right corner of the checkout screen to scan your first book. 

• Locate the library's barcode. It's usually on the inside back cover of the book, upper right corner.
• Use your phone's camera to take a picture of the barcode; toggle the "Scan multiple items" button if you are checking out more than one item
• Line up the middle of the barcode with the red line. The app will snap the photo automatically when the barcode is lined up correctly.

If your checkout is successful, you'll see a list of your items. Click the big "finish" button; next, you may take the opportunity to rate your experience with the app. And that's it!  You can take your books and go!

You will automatically receive date due slips from both the library system and "Meescan," the app provider; both notices contain the same information. 

If you have problems or questions, or prefer to have the User Services staff check out your materials for you, we are always happy to help! Stop by the desk and see us!
