Q. How do I borrow books with the Home Reader laptops in Junior School? [Scotch Staff]
Open the Oliver app. If it does not appear in your dock, please email library@scotch.wa.edu.au
Make sure the Borrower button is selected. Scan the student’s name into the Borrow ID field.
The student’s details will appear at the bottom of the screen
Scan the book’s barcode into the Item field. It will appear in the Current Loans.
You must press Finish when you have scanned all the books. Otherwise, it will not scan the next borrower’s barcode and it will loan any further scanned books into the previous student’s name.
