The search bar allows users to explore the library's catalog with multiple search options, similar to those available on the LRC website. Users can search by title, author, subject headings, ISBN, or series name. Searches can be refined to display only e-books or physical books and can be further limited to specific library collections.
Each book listing includes basic information and its location within the LRC. Selecting the author's name will display other works by that author. To ensure availability, users can place holds on desired items, preventing others from checking them out. Full details of the hold process will be provided on a separate page.
The three horizontal lines on the right side of the search bar open the My Account menu, where users can manage their library activity.
When this option is selected, the camera will activate, and a green square—similar to the one shown above—will appear on the screen. Position the book so that the red line within the square aligns with the barcode.
If you prefer not to use the camera, the ISBN is typically located directly above or below the barcode and can be manually entered into the search bar. Please note that different printings and editions of the same book may have different barcodes and ISBNs, so if you're unable to locate the item using the scanner, try searching manually using the search bar.

The shopping cart icon in the menu represents the Self-Check-Out button. This option is also available at the bottom of the Main Menu, to the right of the My Barcode button.
With this feature, patrons in the LRC can check out books independently—without needing to visit Course Reserves or the Circulation Desk.
Note: Unlike commercially sold books, library barcodes are located on the inside of the book, typically on the last page.
This barcode option is located at the bottom of the Main Menu. The two dots above it indicate which page of the Main Menu is currently displayed. The barcode contains the user's A-number (A#), which matches the one found on their AAMU ID card. It can also serve as a substitute for the physical ID during the checkout process.
