A classroom library checkout system students can help run
Dewi checkout works the way a classroom does. One student runs the scanner, and everyone else just says their username.
-
1
A student hands over a book.
-
2
The scanner student asks for the borrower's username and finds it on the screen.
-
3
They scan the barcode, and the book is checked out to that username.
You sign in to Dewi and let your scanner helper use your library profile. Students never get access to the library on their own. You can see which username has which book, and the only things Dewi shows about a checkout are a username and a book title. Dewi steers you toward usernames, so students' real names stay off the screen.
Dewi was built in a real classroom: books scanned in, tested with students, and tried by other teachers. The free plan works like the paid one, limited to 5 books, so you can try a real checkout before you pay.
