Abstract: QR codes are becoming popular in the managing and organizing library material. They play an important role in how books are now being searched into the system. Searching books in library becoming more difficult due to the large number of collection and user’s incompetent in library skills. To overcome this problem, an initiative had been created by using QR code in Library System (OPAC). The objective of MyScanLib@QRCode is enhancing book searching in library. If users scan this code with a smartphone, the picture of exact location of the book will appear in the phone, and they can send this information via text, email or just come to the stack to find the book. The MyScanLib@QRCode creation process is pretty straightforward. Only the link of QR code will be added into the library system. This will cost only a small space in the library system. The impact of MyScanLib@QRCode is it can reduce time consumed by 43.43% for first timer user to find the book. Book searching in library will also become more effective and efficient. This innovation also offers the flexibility to reach users in previously disconnected campus and library spaces.
