Integration of Web-Based and Mobile Application with QR Code implementation for the library management system

Abstract

In recent years, the various institution has adopted the use of two-dimensional bar codes which are also known as Quick Response (QR) Code for information dissemination which can be decoded using smartphones, digital tablets, and other electronic devices. One of the institutions’ benefits from QR usage is the libraries to promote their services as well as in asset tagging. This paper proposed the use of QR codes on the existing library system in one of the private higher learning institutions in Malaysia for fast data retrieval at a minimal cost. Random functional acceptance tests (FAT) were conducted and improvements were made accordingly. In this proposed work, the physical location of the library assets can be found easily, fast retrieval of information, and hence the unnecessary wastage of time is avoided.
