NISO to hold April 14 Webinar on "RFID in Libraries: Standards and Expanding
Use"
Existing ANSI and ISO standards outline the radio frequencies and character
encoding on an RFID tag but don't address the specific needs for
interoperability in a library environment. A NISO working group issued a
Recommended Practice in 2008 on "RFID in U.S. Libraries" as an interim best
practice until the ISO standardization effort was completed. That ISO
standard is nearing its final stages and is expected to be finalized in late
2010 or early 2011. NISO's working group will be undertaking a revision of
the recommended practice to align it with the international standard.
NISO's webinar, "RFID in Libraries: Standards and Expanding Use," on April
14, 2010 from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. (Eastern), will look at the latest
developments in both of these standardization efforts regarding the use of
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in libraries and share the experience
of an actual implementation of RFID. Learn about RFID data models for
library applications, what data is specified to be on an RFID tag, and which
encoding schemes to use. Hear about experiences in implementing the NISO
Recommended Practice and the issues that must be addressed beyond technology
when RFID is introduced.
Topics and speakers for the webinar:
-- ISO Standard on RFID in Libraries -- Paul Sevcik, Senior Product
Development Specialist, 3M Library Systems
-- U.S. Implementation of RFID in Libraries -- Vinod Chachra, CEO, VTLS,
Inc.
-- Case Study of RFID Library Implementation -- Speaker TBA
