PROGRAMME TO FOCUS ON

MAKING THE MOST OF RFID

Programme development is underway for CILIP's fourth annual RFID in Libraries Conference with the theme Making the most of RFID.  One key issue will be the problems and opportunities that integrating LMS and RFID systems can generate.  This was identified as a topic of special interest by delegates at last year's event, which attracted more than 190 delegates and was rated 95% Good to Excellent.

There will also be Case Studies plus the presentation of an exclusive international RFID Trends Report.  The programme will also feature how best to integrate RFID technology into traditional and new build libraries, the library users' perspective of RFID, and presentations on RFID's role in stock management and the increasingly important issue of tags.  One highlight will be the BIC/CILIP RFID in Libraries Group Award for innovation or technical excellence with a Showcase Presentation by the award winner added to the programme for the first time.

Sponsorships are available including RFID Demonstrations with more spaces available this year.  A Blog has also been launched for the event, which will be regularly updated with news and comment.  Delegate booking will open shortly, but for more information contact conferences@cilip.org.uk.
