RFID-enabled Library
A wide variety of organizations are using RFID to fine tune their operations. RFID is finding use in an amazing array of applications.
WALTHAM-based Bentley College has spent $16 million on renovating its business library. The college has used a number of technology innovations. Let us look at the RFID component:
3M has built a state-of-the-art RFID –based collection management system for the business library. This electronic self-checkout system places "tags" inside each book. Now, students and faculty can check books with a single swipe of their RFID-enabled Library cards. Incidentally, Bentley College is one of the few academic libraries in the United States, which has converted its entire collection to RFID.
