This manual provides comprehensive information for the RFID in Libraries: A Step Toward Interoperability publication. Authored by Lori Bowen Ayre, this report details the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) standard for RFID in libraries, focusing on its role in achieving interoperability between different libraries and vendors. It covers the evolution of the standard, the associated costs and benefits of RFID technology, and the migration process for libraries and their vendors. The publication offers recommendations for both new and existing RFID implementations, including strategies for optimizing workflows and developing new services.
The purpose of this manual is to guide users through the complexities of RFID implementation in library environments. It serves as a resource for understanding the NISO standard, evaluating RFID adoption, and navigating the technical and operational challenges involved. By addressing key aspects from initial planning to advanced workflow optimization, this guide empowers library professionals to make informed decisions and leverage RFID technology effectively to enhance library services and operational efficiency.
The approval by The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) of a new standard for RFID in libraries is a big step toward interoperability among libraries and vendors. By following this set of practices and procedures, libraries can ensure that an RFID tag in one library can be used seamlessly by another, assuming both comply, even if they have different suppliers for tags, hardware, and software. In this issue of Library Technology Reports, Lori Bowen Ayre, an experienced implementer of automated materials handling systems, Provides background on the evolution of the standard Addresses the costs and benefits of RFID, which can be an expensive technology Discusses issues for libraries and their vendors in migrating to the new standards, identifying additional steps needed to remove legacy barriers Offers recommendations for libraries that have implemented RFID as well as for those getting started Shows how to use tags to optimize workflows and design new services
