Our city library is implementing RFID technology for their circulation services. All books currently have RFID tags. The librarians checking books out now have a pad that they set a stack of books on, they all check out at the same time.
Next Monday, the library will be closed. They are installing self checkout stations, so people can check their own books out. Good news for me, I don't like standing in line, bad news for Tara, she doesn't like the self checkout stations.
Our campus library is also playing with a self checkout station, but they haven't gone to RFID tags on all their books, they have something like 93 miles worth of books in there, it would take quite some time to change it all out.
