The Ritz Library Book Catalog - ANYWHERE!!!

Looking for a book in the library stacks but can't find an open computer to use the online catalog? Would you rather use your mobile device or smart phone? Try out the new QR code we've placed on the ends of the library shelves throughout the 3rd floor. You'll need to install a QR code scanner on your smart phone - just look for it in the App Store on iPhone or iPod Touch or in the Market on an Android-equipped device. Once you've installed it, use it to scan the code & you've got instant access to the Ritz catalog anywhere, not just in the library!

Look for the code above & get scanning!!

Use your phone to help write a research paper!!

It's not unusual for people to use their cameras to snap photos of pages in a book or journal for research purposes, but now there's a new smartphone app that turns your phone's camera into a citation generator.

With Quick Cite you use the camera on your smartphone to scan the bar code on a book. The service then e-mails you a citation for the book in one of four styles, including APA and MLA, that you can then paste into your paper. This app is available for both Android and Apple products.
