Use of QR Code Labels in Museum Collection Management
María Consuelo Sendino · Collections A Journal for Museum and Archives Professionals · 2013
The results presented here are from a pilot project using QR labels, apparently for the first time in museum collection management. This new method for labelling significantly enhances collection management, enabling more information to be recorded than any other method on very small labels (from 1.5 cm) that can be read by a mobile smartphone. QR labels have already been used in museums for displayed specimens, but it is shown here that they also have value in the management of reference collections, research, and loans.
