The Use of QR Codes in the Library

February 17th, 2010 by gail.simmons in Uncategorized

A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The “QR” means “Quick Response”, allowing information to be decoded quickly .
QR Codes are common in Japan, where they are currently the most popular type of two dimensional codes. Many Japanese mobile phones can read this code with their camera.
They can be viewed in Australia by using a Telstra 3 G phone or downloading Bee Tagg. At the Telstra site you can make your own QRCode for any URL.
The Library uses QR Codes for the Library Wiki, Blog, Catalogue and Homepage
Here is the library catalogue QR code.
