A Report From IT Business Canada says There are 37 million books moved within the Toronto Public Library system each year and librarians are beginning to look to RFID tags to help them manage the volume.
The Toronto library implemented a pilot project to place radio frequency identification tags on books in two of its libraries and set up self-checkout kiosks. Currently, about 70 to 80 per cent of users take advantage of the self checkout capability, said Patricia Eastman of the Toronto Public Library speaking at the 2006 Canadian RFID Conference held earlier this month.
