Geelong West Student Hub App

To enhance the library experience further, the Geelong West Student Hub app incorporates new technologies to make the library experience more engaging and easier. 

The app allows users to complete basic functions such as read ebooks, track their current loans, and access their library card. Using the phone camera, the app also allows users to located books within the student hub and loan these books.

The home page features book suggestions as well as information on current loans, the ability to book study rooms and equipment, and information on upcoming events. 

 

The bookshelf features a large range of ebooks for the user to read and can filter the ebooks to find their desired category. 

 

The find a book feature uses AR technology to help the user find the book within the library. The user can search for the desired book, and information about the title will appear. When the user selects find the book, they are taken to their camera. On the ground are yellow dots, and these dots guide the user to the bookcase, but specifically to the section where the book is located. When they approach the location, the book will virtually hover out of the bookcase, highlighting where the book is to the user. 

 

The scan function allows users to use their phone to scan and loan books through their phone camera without needing to use a self-service checkout.   

 

The profile features a virtual library card that can use used at any of the Geelong Regional Libraries. To scan the card, the user just taps the card to enlarge it.
