Combined with our earlier adoption of RFID technology, this new service further enhances the convenience and efficiency of accessing library resources.<\/p><p>Getting started is simple. Download the cloudCheck mobile App from the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/hk\/app\/cloudcheck-mobile\/id6461972307?l=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App Store (iOS)<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.bibliotheca.cloudcheckmobile&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play (Android)<\/a>, log in with your valid HKMU Account, and tap your smartphone on the RFID tag of the book you wish to borrow or renew. If your smartphone does not support NFC, you can use the device's camera to scan the book's barcode instead. You can also check your loan records and hold requests anytime, anywhere through the App.<\/p><p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/2TK1z9XMcmY\">tutorial video<\/a> is available on our Online Tutorials website, which provides a step-by-step guide to using the service. For any assistance, please visit the Service Counters, call the Library Hotline at 2768-6777, or email us at libwww@hkmu.edu.hk . Our staff will be happy to assist you.
