RFID Education Series

Are you curious about RFID technology and its benefits and risks for your library? Are you skeptical? Look no further — 3M Library Systems has written a series of whitepapers that will help you understand RFID technology and implement it in your library.

Select the whitepapers you would like to download:

RFID 601: You’ve decided it’s right for your library system and you’d like to start moving toward implementation. How do you decide what kind of RFID system works for you? How do you go about funding and implementing that system? And how do you protect your investment?
RFID 501: This is an exciting time in the evolution of RFID (radio frequency identification) technology for libraries. National and international committees will soon finalize a number of important standards. The new standards will improve the interoperability and flexibility of library RFID systems and make the technology even more valuable.
RFID 401: Your library collection will last a long time. Your RFID tags need to last just as long. Even ISO compliance doesn't guarantee tag reliability or longevity.
RFID 301: A detailed look at a critical part of RFID technology— RFID tags. Learn about tag characteristics, differences, standards, quality concerns and security issues.
RFID 201: The second part of the series explores the basics of what RFID technology is and discusses the potential and risks for your library and the benefits for your customers.
RFID 101: Do you need RFID? What is it? How does it work? The first part in the RFID Education Series gives you the basics of RFID and provides four reasons to invest in RFID (and three reasons to wait).
