Juno Buddy is a mobile app that allows our students and staff access to the University Library if they have forgotten their university ID card. The App creates a barcode specific to your userid which will be stored in the app until your account expires or you delete the app from your device. The barcode can be scanned on the library access control gates allowing the user access to the University Library.
The app is available as a free download from the source appropriate to the phone’s model and operating system: Apple Store, Google Play Store. This app works on most devices apart from Windows mobile phones and some Huawei phones. See installation instructions below.
Please note Juno Buddy only allows you access to the library and cannot be used on the printers or self-service machines. It should only be used if you forget your Student/Staff ID, card and not as a long-term substitute. If you have lost your ID card, replacement cards can be obtained from Student Services.
If you have any problems with the app or access to the Library please contact us.
