QR Codes in the Math Bookshelves

First things first. I am officially a Science Librarian now; however, I hope the "in training" part continues as long as I am a librarian.

Yesterday I put pink paperboard tabs in among the mathematics bookshelves at the library. On the end of these tabs were QR codes that take the viewer to various mathematics subject ebook collections in SpringerLink. I am very excited about the pilot project,a nd truly hope it gets some use.

As we have not been ordering print copies of Springer books since 2008, I have been concerned that the math book browsers (those who like to browse a section of the physical books rather than the online catalog) might be missing some of the most recently published books on a topic. With these QR codes, I hope to be leading math book users to the massive collections on mathematics ebooks. You may not realize this but a very large number of Springer books are in mathematics!

I will post some pictures later to give you an idea of what it looks like...
