Quick Response Codes in Visual Materials Exhibits
Kait Dorsky · Carolina Digital Repository (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) · 2019
This paper presents the findings of a study designed to assess the use of Quick Response (QR) Codes in visual materials exhibits in library, archive, and museum visual materials exhibits. Seven institutions were recruited to fill out a survey to assess the perceived ease or difficulty of implementation of QR Codes, usefulness of the technology, and likelihood of using this or other mobile technology in future exhibits. A lack of adequate survey responses prevented the author from presenting substantive statistical conclusions; however, the author speculates about a perceived decline in use of QR Codes in libraries, archives, and museums, as well as potential future research into mobile technologies in visual materials exhibits.
