New at the Westminster Law Library: QR Codes

What are QR codes?

QR codes are scannable barcodes that can be read by mobile devices. Simply open a QR reader app and point your mobile device’s camera at the QR code to discover a URL, open a map, send an email, and much more!

Sounds great, but what are they doing here?
There are a number of QR codes posted in the library stacks. Scan a QR code located in the area you are using to find more resources relevant to your research topic.

How do I start scanning QR codes?
Many QR code readers are available for free on the iphone/ipad and on android devices. Here is a short list:

·        QR Reader
