[Web4lib] QR code uses

[Keven Jeffery]

  Hi Thomas,

We use QR codes for the following:

   1. To direct users to the mobile website (http://infomobile.sdsu.edu)
   2. To direct users to library staff vcards (add person to contacts)
   3. To initiate a phone call to library staff
   4. To grab book information from the catalog.

We generally will only use QR Codes to point users to content they might 
reasonably use on their phone.

My question to the group is how are you using QR codes?  Specifically, do you use them to direct people to your main web site, your mobile web site/mobile app, or something else?
