Abstract:
RFID in US Book Publishing: toward
convergence
Even
as US libraries adopt RFID technology at an exponential rate, book
retailing and publishing have been watching from the sidelines.
Privacy concerns are being balanced by an understanding of RFID's
benefits and potential. The Gen 2 tag, common standards-setting
work, and recent developments in retail item-level tagging, point
toward an eventual ‘united' approach in the United States.
