Libraries create #QR codes for available computers, mobile site

QR codes are available for the library's mobile site, a page showing the availability of computers at both Evansdale and Downtown libraries, a room reservation page and a search engine site, said Martha Yancy, access service coordinator for the Evansdale Library.

She said the goal for the library QR codes is to make information which is only available on a computer available to anyone with a smart phone, such as an Apple iPhone or Blackberry.

"Anyone that has a mobile device could benefit from this," Yancy said. "It's also for people who already used the online information to make it easier for them."

Once a student uses a QR code, it will remain on their phone until it's deleted. Roth said students should bookmark the mobile pages they expect to use often.

He said he thinks students will appreciate the QR

dedicated to locating a computer in the library because

students can view it while on the way to the library. Read More
