Location-Aware Services & QR Codes For Libraries

摘要

Keeping up with new developments in mobile technology can be a daunting task for any librarian. Location-Aware Services & QR Codes for Libraries, part of the Tech Set series from the Library and Information Technology Association, is a practical guide for librarians who are ready to explore and implement location-aware technologies, such as QR Codes and Foursquare, in their libraries. I like how the author, library consultant and trainer Joe Murphy, starts out by describing how he uses a variety of location-aware tools in his personal life and how his personal use of this technology got him to think about ways in which these tools could be used by libraries. This experimentation has led to a book that is chock full of examples that are based on practical, real-world experience and is written as an easy-to-follow, step-by step guide.
