Abstract: Business transformation

If implemented strategically, RFID can help better deliver key outcomes such as learning, literacy and the Third Place. In doing this, libraries can further improve their position within their organisations and secure funding. What changes do you need to make to staff roles and work practices to ensure RFID is not merely a substitute checkout facility? Benefit from insights and techniques from the UK and overseas, this session is useful for every stage of RFID development from pre-planning to post-implementation revision.
