#20 YouTube - RFID in libraries

I like YouTube. It is very easy to comprehend. It makes things that people never saw before now visual. It is especially good to show people on how to do things. With our new RFID system, I think that we can do a demo on RFID check out function via YouTube or other video hosting sites.

This is the video from YouTube on RFID technology used in libraries. I like the second and fourth parts of the video on the smart and quick inventory function. The vedio shows one of the advantafes of RFID system used to scan books on the shelves without tipping them out or removing them. The hand-held inventory reader can be moved across a shelf of books to read all of the unique idenfication information. It can also identify items which are out of proper order. It will save librarians tremendous time to search and inventory the collection by using portable reader and portable computer. I hope it will come to Queens Library system very soon so we don't have to move the collection to the book truck and then to the DRA terminal to determine the status of each item.
