RFID implementation
by Rafiq 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Dear Modi, The percolation of RFID technology in libraries in India is spreading, and thus far not less than 8-10 libraries are using it. Prominent among them include NCL, Pune; IISc, Bangalore, Bank of Baroda, Mumbai; University of Jammu, Jammu; Poona University, Pune; etc. You will certainly gain immense benefits, though at a whooping cost, by implementing RFID in your library. Your circulation would be faster, materials would be safe and secure, and your services will enhance and so on and so forth. For vendors, you may please contact EDUTECH and LIBSYS Corporation, who are at the forefront in providing such solutions. Rafiq L.
