QR (quick response) codes are codes you can scan with your smartphone (iphone, blackberry, droid, etc.) for quick access to websites, lists, maps and more. At our library, we've added QR codes that link you to lists of other authors to try if you liked a certain book. To use QR codes, you'll need to download a code scanner to your smartphone, like the free ones you'll find on this website: http://www.lib.muohio.edu/qrreaders.
