DESCRIPTION
The popularity of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has increased as its cost has decreased and the growth shows no signs of abating. Academic and public librarians wishing to convert to RFID technology will find in this book the background they need to ask the right questions of prospective vendors, such as:
; Why should my library consider implementing RFID?
; What components make up an RFID system?
; How do I select a vendor?
; How do I manage a barcode-RFID conversion project?
A guide for librarians who are considering, planning or acting today on implementation of RFID technology in their libraries.
