  1. The Sandwich Test!

  2. RFID Equipment – Staff pads

  3. RFID Equipment - Gates

  4. Pentalift

  5. Tagging – Challenges • Metallic covers • Metallic materials (i.e. CDs, DVDs) • Donut hub tags & Booster tags • After-the-fact weeding • Quality control Looking forward… • Embedded Tags from Book Trade • Pre-programmed tags • High quality/High performance Tag • Tag Prices Decreasing

  6. Other Components of RFID • Software • SIP to ILS • Floating collections • Furniture • Marketing Messages • Standards for spacing (gates, self checks, pads)

  7. Lessons Learned - Collections • Weeding, weeding, weeding BEFORE tagging • Accept non tagged items – make it a backroom issue not a customer service issue • Simple tagging on multi-part sets • RFID has enabled better merchandising of the collections

  8. Lessons Learned - Facilities • You need to be very aware of interference and the proximity of metal (including nails/screws in furniture, drawer rails, cable and wiring management…) with any of the readers/antennas. • RFID readers/antennas create a reading zone that is symmetrical below and above the antenna. Putting metal below the antennas shrinks the size of the reading cloud both below and above the antenna.

  9. Good Read Range RFID Antenna Poor Read Range RFID Antenna Table Top Metal Screws, computer cables, bad surface area • Laws of physics apply no matter what a vendor promises • Weak signal may read a chip BUT need stronger signal to write to the chip and turn off security bit
