Hi Jed,

I wrote a post recently about how and why we were using them, with a bit
of a general gripe about how badly they tend to be applied:

ence/ 

I'm planning on following this up shortly with a 'how did it go?' piece.

I'd also recommend you have a look at Shelley Bernstein's posts about
her work at the Brooklyn Museum where she includes some honest stats and
insights about uptake:

Subject: QR Codes

Dear all,

I am a Heritage Documentation Trainee at the Museum of East Anglian Life
and I am currently working on creating QR Code content for our new
Abbot's Hall displays. As part of my work on this I will be giving a
talk about QR Codes and my experiences of working with them at the
Demystifying Digital Heritage event at West Suffolk House on April 25th.

I would like to be able to get an idea of how museums staff feel about
QR codes. Have you tried to use them and if so how have you made use of
them? Has the use of QR codes been a success, failure, or somewhere in
between? What sort of visitor feedback have you had? And if you haven't
used QR codes are there any specific reasons for this?

Any feedback would be a big help in gaining a clearer picture of how QR
codes are (or aren't) being used, and I'll be sure to post my
presentation up here after I've done it.

Many thanks,

Jed
