9. Scan the library barcode of the book
10. Make sure that the title that appears on the screen matches the title of the book in your hand

11. Watch for any pop-up notices, when these appear they must be dealt with before any more books can be scanned
  • this may appear if, for example, a patron reaches their check out limit (4 items for students)
