RFID Changing Libraries

In the last two decades libraries have changed dramatically due to technology and the Internet.

Here's a great May, 2008 video detailing the changes in technology in one library and how the use of technology can help keep libraries important in the future.



RFID or Radio Frequency Identification has revolutionized library circulation duties. While not every library can afford RFID technology, it's certainly something to explore.

Let's watch some YouTube videos to learn more about library circulation and RFID.

This video was a student project from some students at UBC and explains how the technology works.



Now that you understand how RFID works, let's see it in action in an actual library. This one is from the Warren Newport Library.



Wouldn't you love to work at the new Rochester Library new book drop off that has automatic sorting? Watch this You Tube video for a preview.



This video is a humorous look at security gates and how they work!
