Talking to Brent and RBKC yesterday made me even more aware of the now urgent need for libraries to begin thinking about their RFID strategy after the publication of ISO 28560 later this year. Paul Chartier and I sit on the BIC/CILIP RFID group and have been discussing how best we can prepare the market for the arrival of ISO 28560-2. Part of this process is taking inventory of existing installations. My previous email was about the tags, this one is more about the equipment. BIC sent the following email to members of the group earlier this week, but we need to cast the net as widely as possible so I'm asking the list to help out. Please complete the survey if it is relevant to your operation or pass it on to your RFID chums if not. Thanks for your time Mick Mick Fortune m. +44 (0)7786 625544 t. +44 (0)1865 727411 -----Original Message----- From: Peter Kilborn [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 09 June 2009 15:15 Subject: SURVEY OF RFID LIBRARY EQUIPMENT Paul Chartier of Praxis Consultants, who is a BIC consultant on RFID and co-project editor of the new ISO 28560-2 standard, is conducting a survey to identify standardised RFID equipment used by libraries, by RFID library vendors, and by book suppliers. The help of those of you who have implemented RFID or support RFID implementations in completing the attached questionnaire will be much appreciated. He wishes to find out the types of equipment/software which are in use for RFID in libraries, so that it will be possible to research with the relevant vendors whether and how these products are able to support the new ISO 28560-2 encoding and decoding software. Please send your completed questionnaire to [log in to unmask], if possible by 30 June. Best wishes. ________________________________________________________________________ Peter Kilborn Book Industry Communication 39/41 North Road London N7 9DP Telephone +44 (0)20 7607 9021 Registered in England 2589185 Registered office 272 Vauxhall Bridge Road, London SW1V 1BA
