We are pleased to announce an exciting new feature in the RWTHapp! From now on, all RWTH students have the opportunity to borrow books from the University Library (UB) even more easily. The new barcode scanning feature of the RWTHapp makes borrowing books easier than ever before.
How Does the New Feature Work?
The new feature allows you to scan the UB barcode of a book directly via the RWTHapp and thus borrow it automatically. After you have scanned the UB barcode, the app will immediately show you whether the loan was successful or not. This intuitive system saves time and simplifies the whole process considerably.
Advantages of the New Feature
Rapidity: No more long queues at the loan service desks! You can borrow your books immediately with just one scan.
Convenience: The entire process takes place via your smartphone – anytime and anywhere within the university library.
Transparency: You will get direct feedback on the status of your loan so that you are always up to date.
