QR Codes
QR codes (Quick Response codes), or mobile barcodes, are two dimensional barcodes which store information, typically a web address, telephone number or email address. They originated in Japan and were developed to track car parts, but if you keep an eye out for them you will see them being used by lots of different organisations and companies.
How is the LRC using them?
QMU LRC is using QR codes to provide you with easy links to more information and help with and about our services and resources - look out for them around the LRC.
How do I use them?
