DiscussionQR codes - some thoughts

by Aaron Tay (non-member) on Sat, 02/27/2010 - 4:22pm

I compiled from as many sources as I could find, QRcode ideas for libraries at http://goo.gl/fb/HBJn

Its very long, so let me sumarise

There are many use cases but I think they can be classified among these 2 aspects.

(1) Embed QR codes in the virtual world (e.g. blogs, online catalogues, webpages,)

(2) Add QR codes in the real world (e.g. At book shelves, checkout machines, posters)

PostQR Codes Presentation

by Shifted Jenny Levine on Wed, 02/17/2010 - 3:32pm

Joan Howland and Bonnie Peirce did a talk about QR codes called "Talking Walls, Hidden Stories" at the 2008 Gaming, Learning, and Libraries Symposium. I think they must have been ahead of their time, but the broader adoption of smartphones is finally giving the codes some momentum now.
