Abstract
In order to reach out to the digital generation, libraries can develop mobile applications that more efficiently connect campus assignments with library resources. One approach in making this connection is through the use of optical character recognition (OCR) software. Optical
character recognition is software that allows a computer to create text strings out of scanned images or, in our case, an image that is captured with a library user’s smart phone. Research and development tasks include studying how mobile applications powered by OCR software and a recommendation database will help students connect and integrate library resources into their work.
