You find these codes on flyers, posters, receipts, everything really where a company wants to get across their URL in a way that doesn't require a pen and paper. I guess perhaps because mobile internet is much more prominent in Japan. It's great to see them over here too though, I think they're a good idea and are much more compact than a full URL.<br><br>In terms of application in a UK library, I think it would be a better idea to not link to websites via URLs (mobile web access is still expensive and only for the minority) but leave them with text-only content. Maybe have a tour route of the library with a QRcode at every point of interest with a description, or maybe subject-specific advice/information (eg in a Russian literature section "Russian dictionaries are not found here, but located at..."). Maybe even leave a note next to sections describing where the equivalent section is in the other library (eg "More like the Japanese section in Western Bank is found in 950 on Level 4 in the IC").<br><br>Something like that ;)Simonhttp://umeshuman.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112500485583593788.post-70558565100645189522009-05-11T02:56:30.000-07:002009-05-11T02:56:30.000-07:00Hi ChristopherI have made the link clickable, and ...Hi Christopher<br><br>I have made the link clickable, and tested it and it works on campus at least.

Obviously the library needs to ensure books circulate at such a crucial time, but isn't £2 a day a little extortionate?!Ian Griffinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112500485583593788.post-52400333811092549972008-01-23T04:47:18.000-08:002008-01-23T04:47:18.000-08:00Hi Ian,Thanks for getting in touch about this. I s...Hi Ian,<br><br>Thanks for getting in touch about this. I sent your comment to Lynn Greenwood, our Head of Lending Services, and she gave the following response:<br><br>"The rate of fines for Short loan books is £2 per day (£1 for the first day overdue). This is the case during semester and vacation but as long as borrowers keep their accounts up to date and renew their loans on time they will not incur fines. The only time that books cannot be renewed is when someone else has reserved it and at that point the borrower is expected to return it to the library.<br>Over the Christmas period (as was stated on the vacation loan bookmark, the plasma screens in the IC and on the self issue date for return receipts) the due date for short loan items was 7th January - this was so that there was time before the start of the exams for books to circulate amongst students who needed them. Any increase in the loan period for short loans over the vacation or reduction in the rate of fines would decrease the likelihood of the borrower returning the book in time for it to be available to others."<br><br>I hope that answers your question, if you'd like to comment further or have any other concerns, please do not hesitate to leave comments here on the blog, or contact histlib@sheffield.ac.uk.<br><br>Best wishes.Annanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112500485583593788.post-6730752338471401622007-05-21T05:31:07.000-07:002007-05-21T05:31:07.000-07:00These links are very useful, thanks.
