Abstract
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Systems are used app. five years in libraries for book identification for self issuing, anti-theft control and inventory control. These applications can lead to significant savings in labour costs, enhance customer service, lower book theft and provide a constant record update of media. In this paper the technical features of a modern RFID system are described to provide a guideline for the evaluation of different systems. The important result is that today non-proprietary systems can be used for libraries since a new generation of RFID-chips with the ISO standard 15693 is available. With this technology libraries are not dependent on one company for their lifetime.
