QR Codes

[Rosenberger, Luke E]

If you're already using bitly, you might as well use them as your QR code generator too.

If you go to the stats page for any bit.ly link by adding a plus sign + to the end of the URL, you'll see the QR code in the upper right.

For example, for the URL http://bit.ly/z8sqG2 you can go to http://bit.ly/z8sqG2+ to see the stats page - and you'll find the QR code in the upper right.

You can also find the QR code by itself by adding .qrcode to the end of the URL - i.e. http://bit.ly/z8sqG2.qrcode

Hope that helps,

Luke

Subject: [WEB4LIB] QR Codes

Hi all,

I could use a little help. For the past year or two, I've been doing a lot of work with QR codes at my library. We've got a pretty good program going, and I'm really excited about it. We have unfortunately run into problems with the longevity of our codes as well as flaky creators. We first used Kaywa to create codes, but our codes all died about four months after we created them. We've been using myqr.co since, but have been noticing lots of problems with the generator in the past month or so. We're ready to switch. I know lots and lots of creators since I've researched this extensively, but I'd like to get your feedback. Has anyone been using the same creator for a significant period of time? I don't care much about how they look, since we have a great graphic designer. I put the codes through bitly, so it doesn't need to have a tracker either. I really just need something that is reliable and will last a long time. Can anyone share their experiences? I'd be so grateful!
