How would I use Quick Response Codes in my library?
I'm still learning about QR codes. Even though I have created one and tried to read a lot of information about their use, I feel a little confused. I would like to actually see them being used in a library, because I think that would help me to better understand them.
In my library I would use them for helping students get to databases, online encyclopedias, podcasts, online class quizzes, and other websites more easily and quickly--especially when they would otherwise have to memorize and type the URLs correctly. I know that many of my students get stuck when they forget a letter in a website address and can't find their mistake. I would also use them to allow students to access eBooks, if my library has them. I think they could also be used to help students locate and track physical items in the library. It would really help students find materials when no one is available to help them, or if they don't want to wait until I'm done helping someone else. For teachers and students, I would QR codes to give extra information on materials or specific instructions that go with equipment. Finally, I think QR codes could be used in a library for checking out and renewing materials.
