RFID Paris Library System Implementation

Paris will implement radio frequency identification (RFID) systems from 3M at 42 city branches. The technology is expected to increase efficiency, improve security, and boost customer service. ...

... "According to Rory Yanchek, 3M Library Systems business manager, the agreement with the Paris library system calls for 3M to provide at least three million RFID tags, as well as workstations, readers, detection gates and SelfCheck Systems that allow customers to check out and return items, and in some cases even pay fees and fines, without staff assistance. Installations are scheduled to begin later this year.

For the Paris libraries, 3M will supply tags incorporating Geneva-based STMicroelectronics Company's LR12K chips, which are warranted for the life of the library items to which they are affixed. " ...

RFID Library System Increases Customer Touch and Automates Routine Check-In and Out

Integrated Technology Group will install RFID technology at Fontana library to improve the customer experience. ...

... "The Fontana library will use Apex XpressCheck patron self-service kiosks and Vista Book Drop to speed up check-outs and returns. With the new system, patrons will be able to check out items in a stack rather than one at a time as with bar code-based systems. Waiting times are expected to decrease drastically with the new system. Books returned through the book drop will be automatically checked in at the time of drop off. Patrons will no longer have to ask staff members to check in their returned items before they are able to check out new materials. As a result, staff members will have more time to assist library patrons in locating materials and helping them use library resources. " ...

Library RFID Self-Service

Marion Stevens, Libraries Electronic Services Manager, uses Intellident RFID-enabled library solution to support her graduate studies and research into the use of RFID technology to support library self-service processes. ...

... "Marion chose to do her dissertation using Swindon libraries' project with RFID self-service as her basis. The research found that although there were as yet no counter-less libraries in the UK, a few authorities were near to achieving it, and many more were planning to move that way. The survey found that library users on the whole embrace self-service, provided it is well presented, uses reliable technology, and is easy to use - the RFID equipment supplied by Intellident certainly meets those criteria. " ...
