Recenzii
The authors--two technical service librarians and a library vendor--introduce readers to RFID technology with an overview of implementation considerations including pros and cons. They also cover the RFID data model, privacy and security issues, the types of tags and readers available--including self-checkout and automated return/sorting systems--vendors, and managing a conversion project that uses existing barcode data. The appendixes include a Frequently Asked Questions section, a budget sheet, conversion guidelines, and a listing of RFID web resources. Overall, this book offers a thorough treatment of the subject and will be useful for libraries considering RFID.
Because of both the breadth and the depth of the information presented, this handbook could very nearly servce as a sole source for someone undertaking an RFID project. It covers all aspects of the technology and is very thorough in answering nearly every conceivable question a librarian might have when considering conversion to an RFID system. This guide is well-written and informative, and highly recommended for academic and public librarians interested in learning the basics of RFID or wishing to implement a system of their own.
The issue of whether and how to implement RFID in libraries is timely and pertinent to space planning as well as technology planning..This handbook is clearly written and makes techincal information easily understandable. The liberal use of lists, photographs, charts, and diagrams adds value for communicating with and training project teams. The author successfully present a professional tone that makes the information clear for any type of library and does not show bias for particular vendors..I highly recommend this handbook for any librarian who may participate in an RFID decision or implementation project.
This book provides some good hints and tips and gives a useful summary of this technology. As part of preliminary background reading this book provides some very useful technical information.
