Dear colleagues Almost 250 libraries have now responded to this year's library RFID survey - more than 200 fewer than in 2012 but a higher number than in all other years. UK libraries (133) are well ahead this year - perhaps in response to being beaten by Australia in 2012 - but replies from the USA are less than half of last year's total (and Australia's less than a quarter). The survey closes on Wednesday at 12 noon GMT so if you were meaning to get around to responding. time is running out! This year we're trying to gather data about all aspects of RFID use - including access control and smartphones (via NFC), as well as continuing to monitor the growth of more traditional uses like self-service and stock control. Responses are entirely confidential - although we do ask for an email address so we can let you know when the results are published. The information gathered ultimately feeds into the standards process to agencies like BIC, BSI, ISO and NISO - so your replies directly help inform the process of developing best practice and increasing efficiency - never more vital than in times of limited resource. If you haven't already completed the survey please consider doing so now. It really won't take very long (about 5-10 minutes) and the more replies we receive the better our understanding of your needs will be. The survey is at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SQND9KS Thanks for your time!
