QR Codes

The Library has implemented QR Codes into the online catalog. Don't know what a QR Code is, then click here. If you have a internet enabled device with a camera then you can begin then you can use QR codes. These codes allow you to store information on the go. You can store a link to a book in the catalog. The library is beginning to explore new ways to use these codes. In the near future you will be able to link to the library's mobile catalog interface, mobile database search interfaces (EBSCOhost and H.W. Wilson), store library staff contact information, and initiate phone calls to the library!! To find a QR reader or scanner visit iTunes (for iPhone and iPod Touch users) or click here to find QR Code reading software that is compatible with your mobile device. Once you have a QR app or reader on your mobile device try it out by scanning the code below (it is a link to the library's mobile catalog).



If you have any questions about QR Codes email Benjamin Rawlins at benjamin.rawlins@kysu.edu.
