5.1. Self-Check Set-up

Last Updated 10/06/2026


Daily Staff Set-Up forthe Self-Check Interface


On This Page

Evergreen includes a self-check interface that libraries may install on a computer or a third-party self-check kiosk. Patrons may use this interface to check out materials by scanning their barcode, inputting their PIN and scanning each item barcode.


Evergreen’s built-in self-check interface runs through a web browser. Libraries may set it up on an ordinary workstation in kiosk mode or use it with third party self check machines. 

For details about setting up Self-Check, see the admin book.

Daily Set-Up

Staff may need to log in to the self-check interface daily.

  1. Navigate to your library's instance of self-check: https://YOURLIBRARYSHORTNAME.nccardinal.org/eg2/en-US/staff/selfcheck
  2. Log in with appropriate staff circulation account (you may wish to have one specifically for self check)
  3. Make sure the self check workstation is selected in the Workstation dropdown.
