Add a self-checkout feature in campusM/Library Mobile
It would be useful to add a self-checkout function to campusM/Library Mobile. Built as a new product integration, notably with Alma, it would allow patrons to check out items on their mobile device (quick and private way for patrons to borrow items from anywhere in the stacks).
Some libraries use parallel apps for self-checking, it is not very convenient to propose different library apps to users. Adding a self-checkout feature in campusM/Library Mobile would consolidate the use of this app among the library patrons.

Thanks for pointing this out, Peta. This is a regrettable decision :-(, as we were counting on this new feature in particular to help us reduce our investment in self-check machines.

I asked for an update on this since it was previously published in the roadmap for delivery in H1 2024. I have just received a reply that priorities have shifted and this is no longer part of the current roadmap.

In the roadmap document this idea is shown as expected delivery in H1 2024. Could we get an update on this please? I could not find anything in the release notes about it being delivered yet, nor in the product integration documentation.

Excellent news - with location services I hope so it knows which library the user is in automatically.
