Quick Response Codes in Library Services

QR (Quick Response) Code is a two-dimensional bar code in which you can create text (250 characters), a web link (URL), Phone Numbers or an SMS Message (160 characters).  QR Codes can be scanned using any device with a camera and a QR Reading Application, which are available for most SMART Phones, NOKIA, Sony Phones etc.. QR codes don’t only work with phones. Think of them as more sophisticated versions of standard library barcode. Instead of the flat, one-dimensional marker we see on inventory labels, QR codes are two-dimensional (2-D) barcodes. They do require a 2-D scanner. Then readers could scan books to access book trailers, reviews, or suggestions of similar titles.

A quick response to promoting library services - How you can use QR Codes

View more presentations from Scott Hibberson

In library to embed web links to library catalogue and/or other e-resources, so learners could access these using their own mobile devices rather than your own drop-in PCs.Text based information with factual info is one of the simplest ways of using a QR Code.  There are lots of ways you could use this in the library i.e. opening times, contact telephone numbers, etc. And more dynamic codes are possible, ones that automatically send an email or SMS message. A school could implement an email or SMS reference service via QR codes placed around campus. Students with questions could then initiate a reference contact by scanning the QR code with their phones.
