It stated that while QR codes are very popular in Japan and somewhat so in Europe, they have not yet caught on in the US. About 6% of smartphone users (so about 3% of the total population) in the US use QR codes more than once a month.<br /><br />So. . . your call to promote QR codes is right on, and librarians shouldn't feel solely responsible if their codes aren't being used. It seems those codes you see everywhere - on the subway, in malls, in magazines, on products - aren't being used by much of anyone quite yet.
