Abstract

QR (Quick Response) codes are used to promote library services and help users to access information quickly. The present study aims to explore the areas of QR code application in library services by experimenting at Kuvempu University. In this article, an attempt has been made to create QR codes for Bioscience theses of Kuvempu University available at Shodhganga ETD repository to provide quick access to URLs of theses. With the help of smart phones users can find theses quickly and independently. This article will explain how QR codes can be used for linking resources and describe issues surrounding their use.
