RFID IN THE REAL [LIBRARY] WORLD
RFID in Libraries
Alan Gray, Assistant Director, Operations, Darien Library

Why Standards?
Standards protect your investment in RFID
future-proofing
allowing implementation of combined
systems.

Why Standards?
If a vendor isn’t acting in your interest by adopting standards rigorously, guess whose interests are being protected?

The Value Equation
Price against Value
![Page 6: NISO Webinar: RFID Systems in Libraries Part 1: An Introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5462579fb1af9f936c8b4f4c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Costs of RFID
An RFID tag costs $.20 to $.40 more than a barcode
An RFID-enabled Library card costs $1.00 to $2.00 more than one with a barcode.
Materials management systems (automated returns and sorters) have no significant difference in cost between RFID and barcode, though combined systems have a somewhat higher cost
![Page 7: NISO Webinar: RFID Systems in Libraries Part 1: An Introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5462579fb1af9f936c8b4f4c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Benefits of RFID
Bottom line:
“Everything goes better with RFID”
![Page 8: NISO Webinar: RFID Systems in Libraries Part 1: An Introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5462579fb1af9f936c8b4f4c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Benefits of RFID
The true bottom line[s]:
You can’t justify RFID alone for circulation desk activities [payback greater than 10 years] but an RFID-enabled materials management system [automated return and sorting] can have a payback period as low as 4 years.
![Page 9: NISO Webinar: RFID Systems in Libraries Part 1: An Introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5462579fb1af9f936c8b4f4c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Benefits of RFID
Security is a close call: If you don’t have security and want it,
implementing RFID will give you security AND the benefits of RFID
RFID security is least-effective on metal substrate items such as CDs and DVDs, so that immediate issue is not completely addressed, but of course, that may not be an issue for many libraries in the mid-term future.
![Page 10: NISO Webinar: RFID Systems in Libraries Part 1: An Introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5462579fb1af9f936c8b4f4c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The [Future] Benefits of RFID The granularity of the new profile will
eventually allow RFID itself to be used for: Supply chain efficiencies Reads from the chip [no SIP calls] so that
systems cycle faster, are more efficient and are remotely-deployable
Interoperability among libraries when we can read each other’s tags [ILL]
![Page 11: NISO Webinar: RFID Systems in Libraries Part 1: An Introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5462579fb1af9f936c8b4f4c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Decision for RFID
Every library considering new construction, expansion or significant re-purposing of existing space should seriously contemplate the very real benefits [current, near-term and future] of RFID.
