Those of you interested in RFID could take a look at my report for the
London Museums Hub:
'Reviewing Machine Readable Labelling Systems for Collections
Management and Access'
It is available at:
www.collectionslink.org.uk/find_a_network/regional_networks/sustainable_storage
There are case studies demonstrating the use of RFID from the
Netherlands in the report, as well as a survey of RFID and barcode
technologies.
Also, I will be giving a presentation on the use of RFID in museums at
the Vasa Museum in Stockholm on 13 April. I was planning to ask group
members if they know of other recent examples of RFID use in museums.
Now seems like a good time!
Please get in touch on or off list.
Many thanks

> Hello all,
> Not sure if this is strictly speaking a computer question but it becomes
> more techie as it goes along!
> We are in the process of selecting prints and drawings storage for the
> refurbished Scottish National Portrait Gallery, and the Kardex Shuttle or
> something very similar (it's a great big metal tower with trays on which
> you can store things in boxes, and the machinery delivers the one you want
> to an opening) is the preferred solution as it would enable us to store a
> lot of solander boxes in quite a small space. It's more often used for
> various forms of stock retrieval in warehouses etc but I am now wondering
> if anything like this is in use in a museum or gallery and if so, could we
> visit and/or ask some questions about the logistics of it, particularly
> with reference to maintaining location records on Mimsy.
> A supplementary question is whether anyone in this group has experience of
> RFID tags. It would be beyond our wildest dreams if someone knew of a
> museum where they are in use along with the storage tower thing described
> above, but I thought I would ask anyway! At the moment we are just
> exploring ways of making location tracking more foolproof, since we feel
> that this is a good opportunity to do so. We would probably be looking at
> RFID tags on the boxes rather than attached to individual items.
> Thanks in advance for any information.
