Amsterdam Libraries Deploying RFID

"Twenty-five branches of the Amsterdam Public Library are on their way to deploying RFID to help manage their collections. The library system’s ongoing deployment began a year ago and is due to be completed by the end of 2005. Approximately 15 branches have already been outfitted with RFID readers (interrogators), allowing staff to track inventory more easily and enabling staff and patrons to check books in and out more quickly. The project was announced by French RFID equipment maker Tagsys at the RFID Journal LIVE! Europe conference, held this week in Amsterdam." Source: rfidjournal.com
