Abstract: New and emerging technologies have always been playing the vital role in shaping the different services of libraries. These technologies not only help the users to quick, quality and efficient services but also provide a chance to library and information professionals to think outside the box to make their services effective and responsive. With the arrival of affordable smart mobile phones, libraries all over the world have been trying to utilise them for the betterment of their services. QR code is one of the technologies which can be used with a smart mobile phone. Although in most of the cases libraries are the end user of these technologies, they make the life of all the stakeholders of the library smart and comfortable. QR code came into existence in 1999 but has not made a significant impact on libraries to date. This write up explores the possibilities of using QR codes in providing different libraries services and making the users more informed. It discusses the features and functionality of this technology and tell about how it can help libraries to make their services more attractive and efficient. It also discusses the issues involved in the application of QR code and emphasises that “Quality” along with “Quick” should be the prime aspect of services.
