America may be moving to RFID.

Colleagues,
I note in a recent news article that the Vatican Library is a fair way
in to a project to tag 2 million or so books in its collection with RFID
tags. The original aim was to speed up the annual inventory process -
expected to reduce the time taken for the task from a month to a day.
It's a technology where the costs are expected to drop rapidly.
Is anyone planning or carrying out such a project in the UK or
is it anathema to consider sticking RFID tags to objects.?
The technology would dovetail very nicely with procedures for
Inventory Control, Location and Movement Control, Audit, Use,
Loans out (for handling kits) etc
