Hey C4L’ers,

I hope this isn’t too spammy, but in the last round of “how are you building your stack mapping” app, I mentioned the potential of RFID to fulfill this need in the future (or did I chicken out on that post?) instead of using barcodes that then interact with a database …

This SHORT (I promise) blog by a British RFID expert talks about that use as well as some other NFC uses in libraries: http://www.mickfortune.com/Wordpress/?p=1185

Seems like whenever I bring this up, I hear crickets chirping but since a whole bunch o’ libraries adopted RFID (many of whom later abandoned it), wouldn’t it be cool to leverage RID and our users’ mobile devices to assist them in various ways?
