[Web4lib] Uses of QR in Rector Gabriel Ferraté Library (BRGF)

[Aina Giones/UPC]

The Rector Gabriel Ferraté Library of the Technical University of Catalonia
has been using QR codes since 2004. The most original use of QR codes at
our library is linked to the registration forms for our  computer
facilities. The code contains the username and the password required to use
the equipments in the computer room at the BRGF. The main aim here is to
allow the users to keep the data in their cell phone thus replacing pen and
paper, and saving the library from printing this information again and
again as the user repeatedly loses the piece of paper where s/he had
written down their username and password.

You can find a brief review of this and other technological projects in the
BRGF at http://upcommons.upc.edu/e-prints/bitstream/2117/7158/1/2514843.pdf
