We have the web content already and are looking for ways to get it out there. Also, this seems like a good way to cross-promote lending institutions (the Museum of X lent this, here is a QR code for their website.) If you've used them what are the advantages/disadvantages you've seen? If you thought about using them and decided not to, why?

The Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History has QR codes in their new
oceans' hall. As a patron, I love them. Okay, part of the fun is in
scanning the barcode but it's nice to see more content on the web.
Most of the time I read it at home since it's hard to get everything
on my little Droid screen but I think it is a great way to add in
extra content in exhibits.
