Hi Wojciech,<br><br>The reasons I am looking at RFID are:<br><br>1. reduce staff time spent manually processing returned items (currently 1 full time time position).<br>2. self issue for patrons<br>3. quicker manual stocktaking<br>
4. smart card functionality so that members can debit charges from their library card account balance, which can have credit added to it by credit card or cash, from both within the library and from home<br>5. The biggest driver of all is that we have a new building being planned. and our current bypass security system will not work with the building design. We can go to a tattletape system or go to RFID. I think RFID is the way of the future.<br>

<br>
<br>
JR> So my question is, do any libraries out there running 2.0.x<br>

<br>
we are planing integrate RFID system to KOHA but now we pick offers..<br>
btw: we don't buy solution;)<br>
<br>
we want:<br>
- reader which can read tag for about 1 m (and more) in free space.<br>
- tag with ean13 code<br>
<br>
what this will give us:<br>
- free access to books (gateways with cam)<br>
- monitoring where book is<br>
- easy stock-taking of books (inventory check)<br>
- still barcode in use for circulation<br>
<br>
what your library want from RFID?<br>
