About the Book

The advantage of radio frequency identification (RFID) over other technologies used in libraries is usually seen to be its ability to combine the functions of the barcode (as a unique item identifier) and the security tag (able to indicate that an item is being removed from the library without permission), but with the added advantage of not needing line of sight. The customer-friendly self service that this combination of features makes possible is at the heart of the attraction of RFID for most libraries. This practical and straightforward new book will consider the benefits of installing RFID technology; work with vendors; and how to implement the technology on the ground. It will also consider technical issues such as interoperability, metadata and standards. Applicable to all types of libraries, its contents include: current and potential application of RFID in libraries; how RFID works in library applications; standards/interoperability; privacy issues; how successful have implementations been? is RFID for you? building a business case for RFID in libraries; staffing implications; practicalities: choosing a system, staff development, process re-engineering; ensuring return on investment; and, RFID and libraries - the future? Written by an expert in the field, it will be a very worthwhile investment for those considering converting to RFID as well as those who are implementing it already.

Review :
"...it is THE book to read if you want to inform yourself about the technology...highly recommended for all levels of library and information personnel and for library students and faculty alike...this is a compulsory read and a book I would strongly recommend." - Library Management "For those libraries looking for a starting point for the evaluation of RFID in the library, this book can be highly recommended...Libraries with existing RFID implementations may also be interested in this book in reviewing their current RFID systems." - IFLA Information Technology Section Newsletter "If you only read one book on RFID in libraries, this should be the one. 5/5" - Matt Cunningham, Loughborough University
