This survey looks closely at academic, public and
special libraries that have adopted, are thinking of adopting
or have rejected the idea of adopting RFID technology for
library inventory control, cataloging and other functions. The
report gives detailed data from nearly 100 libraries worldwide
on spending on RFID sensors, gates, tags and other technology,
equipment and supplies, relating amounts spent, vendors used
and institutional experiences and assessments. If your library
uses, or is thinking of using RFID, this report tells you
which suppliers libraries are using, what is their experience,
and how much are they spending. The report looks at security
and safety issues, privacy issues, impact on library staff,
impact on productivity, impact on patron theft, trends in use
for non-book materials and many other issues of concern to
librarians using or thinking of using RFID technology. Data is
broken out by library size, for US and non US libraries, for
academic public and special libraries, and by other useful
criteria.
