QR Codes

I have also had a go with these before.  We created one a year or so ago for the Library, and it links very nicely to the Library intranet site.  We have the QR code on the door of the Library - I'm not sure how many people have actually accessed our site from the code, but it shows that we are keeping abreast of things.

You see the codes all over the place now - especially if you go sightseeing.  It's a great way of accessing lots of information on the go, as you look at an interesting object or building.  And they are used a lot these days on things like train and airline tickets.

The QR code reader apps are widely and freely available, so it's really simple to download the reader to a smartphone.

It would be really interesting to hear how other Libraries are using the codes, and whether there are other uses to which they could be put.  I like the idea of linking to NICE Evidence.

I used this code generator, QR Stuff, but I think they all work in much the same way:
