Enhancing E-book Access with QR Code Wobblers in College Libraries

This initiative promotes e-books within college libraries through innovative QR code wobblers attached to library bookshelves. The purpose is to encourage users searching for physical books to consider the availability of digital versions. The wobblers feature updated messaging, prompting users to look for e-books online. They include links to the library's e-book search page and can redirect users to specific titles or the library's homepage. With testing by library staff, this promotion aims to enhance resource accessibility and streamline the e-book search process.
