--- Comment #10 from Dave <ddaghita at mckinneytexas.org> ---
We use tablets to access the staff intranet to look at patron accounts and
other modules in koha on the main library floor.  This mobile circulation
method gives full staff access to all aspects of the patron account.  
We use koha module self-checkout kiosks only with 2D barcode scanner and RFiD
pad.  If a patron forgets their library card or did not bring their phone with
digital card.  The scannable barcode within their patron account allows staff
then walk over to a self-checkout kiosk scan their barcode from our tablets and
let the patron continue their checkout unaided.  

Side note: This also helps with new library cards as we went to preferred
digital cards method.  When logging-in a user for the first time to the Aspen
LiDA app.  We use the barcode scan function in Aspen LiDA on their phone to
scan the patron’s barcode from their account via out tablets with the staff
side intranet to quickly fill that library barcode section of Aspen LiDA.  We
do use that staff side intranet barcode for multiple options.
