We will have vendors demonstrating RFID technology during the period 28th October to 3rd November. Actual days and vendors will be finalized later. We are hoping to have a representative selection of library staff present and Managers might like to start thinking about appropriate staff. While a small group will be doing a formal evaluation, we would also expect other staff to provide informal feedback.
More details will follow when available.
Thanks, Peter K.
A cool RFID-based service in Sweden for visually impaired public library users:
"The AudioIndex service based on RFID technique includes a finger reader which is attached on the index finger. The reader is connected to a hand-held computer and headphones while the books are of course equipped with RFID tags. The compact hand-held computer can be hung around the neck. When the user points at a book with the finger reader, a speech synthesizer reads aloud the title, author and description of the book." (from the bottom of http://splq.info/issues/vol… )
