7 Evergreen includes a self check interface designed for libraries that simply
8 want to record item circulation without worrying about security mechanisms like
9 magnetic strips or RFID tags.
11 Initializing the self check
12 ---------------------------
13 The self check interface runs in a web browser. Before patrons can use the self
14 check station, a staff member must initialize the interface by logging in.
16 . Open your self check interface page in a web browser. By default, the URL is
17 `https://[hostname]/eg/circ/selfcheck/main`, where _[hostname]_
18 represents the host name of your Evergreen web server.
19 . Log in with a staff account with circulation permissions.
