What
is RFID?
RFID
(Radio Frequency Identification) is claimed to provide cost-effective
solutions to many of the key issues facing most libraries:
- annual stock-taking
- rapid checking that books are shelved in the
correct area
- searching for specific items using a scanner
- self check-out of items
- self-return of items
- security
- library membership cards
At this third one-day conference librarians will
be able to review technical advances made during the past year and
to see the latest technology in action. Case studies will ensure
they understand how installing RFID in libraries can benefit their
operations. Presentations by expert speakers, Open Forum debates,
and personal discussions with colleagues will help highlight RFID's
advantages and pitfalls.
The conference
will consider technical and management issues and leading suppliers
will provide an insight into their latest offerings.
