Winner of the BIC/CILIP RFID in Libraries Group Innovation Award 2010 is Trafford
Metropolitan Borough Council, for extending RFID beyond the ‘front of shop’
and understanding how RFID-enabled items can transform back-office operations.
The award will be presented at CILIP’s annual RFID in Libraries Conference.
Simon Davies, Service Development Manager, says that book suppliers have
increased what they offer to RFIDenabled libraries. They have provided
both a service that includes programming and verifying data on the
tag so providing ‘shelf-ready’ books and saving thousands of man-hours in
additional processing at the library.
