Hi, Jeannie:

My current library does not use RFID but my former library does where I implemented the RFID project. I can't provide you a solution for your question. However, I can confirm with you that the RFID tag (Demco product) needs to be linked to the bib record (even the item is non-circ with no barcode) in order to activate the tag which is different from the EM tattle tapes.

I hope others could provide a solution to streamline this process.

Regards,

Clement

Hello,

Our library is about to implement an RFID system in preparation to moving to a new library building. We have bound periodicals and loose current issues that we do not circulate and are not barcoded. I have been informed that the only security system for materials will be via RFID tags.

I would love to get feedback from anyone who does not circulate periodicals and are using an RFID system. Is there a method of using the tags as a security measure, but not tying it to a particular record?

I’m just not sure how all that would work. Any advice would be appreciated.
