Introduction
Quick Response (QR) codes are two-dimensional matrix symbols that can be created easily and scanned by the camera feature of various mobile devices. Thes codes yield point-of-use text, URL or location information. The workshop presenter will walk participants through the steps needed to create different types of codes and give examples relevant to teaching and learning activities, particularly in libraries and museums. Participants will learn how to incorporate different types of QR codes into library signs, informational posters, course handouts, business cards, building directories, catalog records and course management systems.
