UAlberta Library Checkout vs DOT Notebook

UAlberta Library Checkout is a fast and easy way to borrow books from the UAlberta Library. Use your phone or tablet to directly check out items anywhere in the library. The app will automatically recognize your library location. Download the app to your phone, open the app and log in with the library barcode number on your ONEcard. Use your phone’s camera to scan the library barcodes on the items you want to check out. If you don’t want to use your phone, go to a checkout station in the library, enter your library barcode number on your ONEcard, and then scan the item you would like to check out. For assistance, please ask a library staff member at a service desk.
