Abstract
What happens when a librarian is given an iPhone and told to be creative? The author is part of a pilot project at the University of Manitoba where reference librarians were given a smartphone and told to make interesting projects. In the summer of 2010 she created the University of Manitoba Public Art Project, focusing primarily on the university's outdoor sculpture. The project, through a convergence of media including Google Earth, Flickr, blogging, and QR (quick response) codes, has not only created a virtual art gallery accessible through a smartphone, but it also involved augmented reality (AR) with Foursquare and Wikitude. A case study of the project is preceded by a brief description of QR codes and AR and their use in the arts.
