This is a QR code. A QR Code is a 2-dimensional barcode, which has encoded in it a URL (web address), text, or other information. It can be read by a QR code scanner, including QR scanner smartphone apps. Once you have an app installed on your smartphone, open the app and hold your phone’s camera over a QR code to read it. Most QR codes you’ll come across have a URL encoded, so chances are when you read the QR code it will take you to a web page.

This is a LibGuide to help people understand about the new mobile technology and all the applications (apps) that are out there, and how they can be used in education.  There is a section that tells some good study and research apps that will help students be more productive.  I have used this in an App workshop.
