HOW TO USE IT Manage items lent with the QR Library easily and without having to enter articles or borrowers in advance. The app is based on Student ID cards, which can be created quickly in the app or online. These cards show a QR code that contains the student name. To borrow something, the student card is scanned or the name entered manually. If the article contains a QR code or any barcode such as an IBAN, it can be scanned for identification. Otherwise or additionally, a picture of the article can be taken. Done. In the best case, there is no need to make a single click; the app automatically leads to the next step. Returning an item is just as easy. Simply scan the item or Student ID Card and confirm the return.
