1. Introduction
Conditions in the Library Market
- Increasing number of loans
- Different items, more AV media
- Longer opening hours
- Different user groups (younger people)
- Limitations in building size (efficient use of the room)
- Limitations in employing more staff
The only possibility Higher service level requires technical equipment!

1. Introduction
Why RFID and not Barcode or EM?- Barcode is state of the art, but difficult to handle for users,
single processing only
- EM-strips (electro magnetic strips) only provide security, still require single processing
- RFID opens a wide range of new applications, such as:Efficient (easy) self service Stack Processing at self service and at counterInventory ControlAutomatic book returnPayment functions
Important:Non proprietary, relying on ISO Standard chips“Light” system, easy to implement and to extend Tagging of all media with same security level (incl. CD)

1. Introduction
What makes an RFID-System attractive for a library?
1. Automisation and Self ServiceRepetitive work is done by self service stations such as Self Check out and Return, Payment, Access Control
2. Customer ServiceNo more waiting lines, return of media at non-opening hours, better consultancy
3. Better Shelf Order Inventory is taken more frequently (can be done now)
4. Media Security Suitable for all materials (Books, CDs, Videos)

1. Introduction
Economic Estimation
Assumption:
1 min / 4 borrowings = 240 borrowing / hour and person at the counter with Barcode and De-Sensitizing
1 Self Check Station will at least process the same number of items (probably more through stack processing)
Costs per year and person: ca. 40’000 EUR
Costs per Self Check Station and Labels: ca. 75’000 EUR
Amortisation in less than 3 years

4. What is Important for the Architect?
Changes for the Staff and the User
• Service: Presence “between the shelves”, direct consultancy (expression “floor walking” in UK)
• Higher Flexibility: not determined by visitor peak hours asbefore (e.g. re-shelving can be done)
• Different Users: more teenagers in the library. They needcloser attention
• Opening Hours: Can be extended with less staff

4. What is Important for the Architect?
Library Management System (LMS)*
Presently major LMS providers have implemented Bibliotheca
• SISIS, BOND, Dynix, Exlibris, Predata, BiblioMondo, Innovative Interfaces (III), Sirsi
• To come soon: BiBer, Geac, Talis
For the implementation of a new LMS a test of the SIP2 interface and the integration of the BiblioChip API is necessary.
*Informative for the architect, but very important for the library planning

42
4. What is Important for the Architect?
The implementation time*
- It is determined by the number of items in the library.
- To tag an item is typically the same time like for attachinga barcode label plus 3 seconds for programming.
- The KU Leuven achieved about 1500 items per day with 5 students. The work was finished in 3 months for 100.000 books.

4. What is Important for the Architect?
Project Management with Bibliotheca
A software platform called ERoom is used to
• Collect all necessary information for the project participants(librarian, architect, construction leader, electricity, Bibliotheca)
• All information is available from every PC
• Timing/ Scheduling
![Page 45: Implementing RFID in Libraries for Automation ... · 4 1.

4. What is Important for the Architect?
How are existing security systems handled, e. g. ElectroMagnetic (EM) strips?
•In general EM strops can be used in parallel as long as the tagging of the items with RFID takes place.
•They are checked out in the traditional way with thebarcode reader and the de-sensitising of the strip. When all items are tagged, RFID can be used at thecounter and self check stations.
•EM strips can remain in the books. CDs with directlyattached EM strips cannot be re-tagged directly, werecommend to put an RFID label into the CD cover.
