[Web4lib] Use of QR Code

[Keven Jeffery]

We use QR codes in our catalog (get call number), on our library 
directory pages (initiative call, download vcard, link to mobile site) 
and on our print/online research guides (link to mobile version of 
guide) . We've gotten some positive feedback and some attention on 
campus from other departments. They have become an interesting 
conversation piece in library training sessions, often students will 
download the software and try them in class.
