Adding Your Library with a Setup Code or QR Code

If your school or library has given you an ePlatform setup code or QR code, you can use it to add the correct library to the ePlatform app.

A setup code or QR code adds your school or library to the app. It does not sign you into your reader account. After adding the library, you will still need to use the sign-in method provided by your school or library.

Get your setup code or QR code

Your school or library can provide you with the setup code or QR code for its ePlatform library. Ask your teacher, librarian, or school administrator if you have not received one.

Where to find your setup code

Your library's setup code is a four-digit number. It is displayed on your library's ePlatform homepage when you open the library in a web browser.

If you do not know your library's ePlatform website address:

1. Go to Find Your School or Library.
2. Search for the name of your school or library.
3. Select the correct school or library to open its ePlatform homepage.
4. Scroll down to below the first compilation to view the four-digit setup code and QR code.

If you do not know the setup code

You do not need a setup code to add your school or library in the ePlatform app.

1. Open the ePlatform app.
2. Select Add New Library.
3. Search for the name of your school or library.
4. Select the correct school or library from the search results.
5. Continue to the login page.

Sign in using the method used by your school or library, such as your username and password or single sign-on (SSO).

Add your library with a setup code

1. Open the ePlatform app.
2. Select I have a setup code >.

If you have already added another library, select Add New Library from the Home screen before selecting the setup-code option.

3. Enter the setup code provided by your school or library.
4. Select GET STARTED.

The app will add the school or library connected to that setup code.

Where the setup code is displayed

The four-digit setup code is displayed on your library's ePlatform homepage when the library is opened in a web browser.

Scroll down to below the first compilation to view the setup code and QR code.

If you do not know your library's website address, go to Find Your School or Library and search for your school or library name.

Add your library with a QR code

Your library's QR code is displayed on its ePlatform homepage when you open the library in a web browser. Scroll down to below the first compilation to view the QR code and four-digit setup code.

If you do not know your library's website address, go to Find Your School or Library and search for your school or library name.

1. Open the ePlatform app.
2. Select ADD NEW LIBRARY.

3. Select the QR button.

4. If the app asks for permission to use your device's camera, select OK.

5. Point your device's camera at the QR code.
6. Keep the QR code inside the scanning area until it is recognised.

The app will add the school or library connected to the QR code.

After adding your library

After the library has been added, the app will open its sign-in page.

Sign in using the method provided by your school or library, such as:

• a username and password; or
• your school's single sign-on service.

For more information, see How to Sign In.

If the code does not work

• Check that you entered the four-digit setup code correctly.
• If you do not know the code or it is not working, select Add New Library and search for your school or library by name instead.
• If you are scanning a QR code, make sure the app has permission to use your device's camera.

If you still cannot add the library, ask your teacher, librarian, or school administrator for help.
