[Libs-Or] Using Articles or E-books in Displays / Exhibits?

[Rhiannon Cates]

I have had success in the past making and printing out QR codes of
articles/e-books to display with books and/or author information ~ small
paper copies of the codes/info for patrons to take and look up later are
also great! It's a bit smoother than writing out URLs and the instant
direct link to the article or digital title is pretty snazzy. Instructions
for non-smart phone/users accessing ebooks on a desktop could also be
included, or available on a separate slip.
