It's called simply Quick response codes and libraries - one of two short pieces I was asked to write after the editor heard my talk at LILAC 2009.

Mobile quiz
Just found a lovely little JAVA based quiz generator for mobiles - mobile study.

Story so far...
I've recently been investigating the use of mobile 'phones with our library, in particular for in teaching information literacy and just gave a talk at LILAC (Librarians Information Literacy Annual Conference) about it.
One concrete service has come out of it so far, a text a librarian service for the University library.
However, I've just been given some money to introduce QR tags in the library with the intention of blurring some of the boundaries between the physical library and the mobile / online world. I've also been given a small award to introduce some mobile friendly materials onto our induction webpages and link them to a series of text messages that students would be able to sign up to in the first term at University.
This blog will be my attempt to keep track of what I've done and when (so I can write it up "officially" later!), plus what I think has worked and what hasn't.
If they won't turn them off, we might as well use them. Using mobile ‘phones in information skills sessions.
