Australia’s RMIT University libraries have begun using QR Codes:
“New to QR Codes?
QR codes are like barcodes – but better!
QR stands for ‘quick response’ and the codes are largely used to access online information quickly and easily from your mobile.
If your mobile phone has internet access, you should be able to take a photo of the code and immediately access the information on it. If the code is a web address, you’ll be taken straight to the website.
We are currently trialling the use of QR codes in the Library. Give it a try and let us know how this technology could help YOU.
To use QR codes you’ll probably need to download a reader onto your phone – this is quick and easy. Download Kaywa reader or Google ‘QR code reader’ and take your pick.
Here’s an example of a QR code. Unlock it and win!”
Thanks for all the great stuff you’ve been posting about QR codes in libraries. I’ve just created a ,QR Codes page in the LibSuccess wiki to try to pull together the projects you’ve described.
Glad it is appreciated! Thanks for commenting.
