We recommend the QR Reader app for iOS (iPhone) devices.

Step 4:
Print out the "QR Hunt Task List" located to the left of this guide.

Some tasks will have you simply scan a code and watch a short video about a department of the library, other tasks will have you locate something in the library, such as a book. 

Lightbulb imageHelpful Tips

  • Plan your route for finding everything ahead of time, otherwise you will be going to the same location many times. 
  • Use the blank space on the task list to write down the call number before finding the book in the library. 
  • Please use headphones when watching videos. Headphones are available for checkout in the Digital Commons.
