Introducing NFC tags to the School of Library and Information Science library
Eduardo N. Prieto · Carolina Digital Repository (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) · 2019
This experiment seeks to understand how people interact with near field communication (NFC) tags placed around the School of Library and Information Science library. The library already had several QR codes placed throughout, so these NFC tags were placed in their proximity as well as other in locations in the library that has information that could be accessed on the SILS website. The tags were programmed using an app on an NFC enabled device and were each labeled with that they were programmed to do. A pre-survey and post-survey were used as forms of assessment to determine user familiarity with the technology and how the tags were used, respectively.
