“…QR codes are also being used to bridge institutions. The Ueno Zoological Gardens and the National Science Museum in Tokyo used QR codes to create a cross-institutional mobile phone audiovisual guide (Arita-Kikutani & Sakamoto, 2007), while France's biggest Science Museum used QR codes to connect its physical exhibits to its library holdings, and vice versa (Vandi, 2011), creating richer experiences for the patrons.…”

Libraries and museums are increasingly looking to mobile technologies, including quick response (QR) codes, to better serve their visitors and achieve their overall institutional goals; however, there is a lack of information regarding patrons' perceptions of QR codes-information essential to successful implementations. The purpose of this case study was to explore staff members' and patrons' perceptions of QR codes at Ryerson University Library and the Museum of Inuit Art in order to determine to what extent QR codes are appropriate for use in libraries and museums. Observations and 56 patron and staff interviews were conducted to obtain data on usage, knowledge, reactions and expectations regarding QR codes in these institutions. It was found that QR code usage was low, but that there was potential for use, with patrons' reactions generally positive. Three themes were identified from an analysis of the results: an assumption that young people and smartphone owners use QR codes; that QR codes are only used for one-way provision of information, not to initiate a conversation; and that QR codes can be used to personalize one's visit to an institution. Libraries and museums are advised that, based on these findings, QR codes can provide a cost-effective and potentially powerful tool for information provision; however, patrons should be first surveyed to tailor these initiatives to their wants and needs.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to offer an example of how ontology, such as CIDOC, can be turned into a format from the perspective of an object. In fact, it illustrates the possible semantic analysis of an object description into a view neutral machine‐interpretable form. The aim is to show that a museum object located in a museum can be described in detail and then related to other information objects located in other memory institutions such as libraries and archives.Design/methodology/approachStudying different documents, all the information about Imam Reza's Zarih 4th was derivated. Then the most important were listed and represented in detail, according to CIDOC CRM entities.FindingsThe figures explicitly reveal the existing semantic correlations between the heterogeneous cultural heritage information in various memory institutions, such as Organization of Libraries, Museums and Documents Centre of Astan Quds Razavi.Originality/valueThe authors capture the knowledge from different resources and relate them in a semantic description with the aid of a semantic conceptual model like CIDOC CRM, to show more effective information integration in a cultural institution such as Organization of Libraries, Museums and Documents Centre of Astan Quds Razavi, in order to provide unified access to collection‐level information.

“…Mobile devices have become intermediary for those users that explore new content, converting printed documents into interactive objects with enriched information (Vandi and Djebbari, 2011). Therefore, for this research, we have created a system of scores that incorporate Quick Response (QR) codes.…”

This article presents an experiment with a group of secondary school music students in Spain. We used music score sheets enriched with Quick Response codes as a resource for the practice required to play a musical instrument. The first group (n = 56) was compared with another group (n = 56) that used traditional resources (textbooks and compact discs). The results of the research supported the fact that the students who used QR codes associated with videos – read by using mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets – achieved better results than those who used more traditional resources. The analysis of variance test showed that the learning resource had a significant effect on the scores obtained by the students. In other words, the marks of the students participating in the study varied significantly according to the resource used. There was no significant effect on the interaction of method and gender, so there is no relation between the students’ gender and the resources’ impact on the results obtained by students.
