Strengths
• Robust: The codes were tested by a third party and found to work well
• Novel: news was retweeted in French.• WAP? – no, it just works• Readable - short url will improve readability of the
QR code • Security – need to own the domain• Transparent – tell the user where it goes (or obvious)• Pleased - Museum are pleased with the trial and
they have not any reported negative feedback (except one user who felt that Wikipedia was a "failed social experiment”
• It is intended to try an improved version of the trial.

Next steps (and threats)
• Software has been constructed to allow QR codes to be created more easily.
• British Library are using them at the same size as a pound coin.
• Wikimedia UK has agreed to fund the purchase of a smart phone to demo the technology for 3 months. Derby Museum have bought IPods
• The labels do get nicked/ moved• Vandalism is always an issue (with/without phone)

Conclusions
1. QR codes allow micro positioning – super geocode2. Installation is cheap3. Change can create and allow other changes4. Linking to smart phones means users have choice5. Linking to phones creates accessibility6. Language support is possible7. Different tours are possible8. There is a legal requirement to supply accessibility9. If Wikipedia is provably more comprehensive
and accessible then your own system then you will are legally obliged to use it.
