Print:$87.00
PDF:$87.00
Multi-SiteLicense:$199.00

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.
