This is pretty neat

Awesome Augmented Reality App Could Save Librarians Hours



It's still a little limited (small children's books would be difficult to tag as the author of the article states, and they're still working on getting more info in the tag), but it has some good promise there. We all know the most dreaded chore in libraries is shelf-reading and inventory. This might help.

(My library's books, as medical books, are almost all thick. :) I somehow don't think my hospital is going to spring for a tablet for such a small library, but in a larger one it could be a godsend.)

Thanks to Kelley Minars (@greaterumbrage) for re-tweeting this link so I could see it.
