RFID

I really enjoyed reading up on RFID for my final paper. I saw a presentation on this a few years ago and become very intrigued. Aside from cost, I really don't see why any library would hesitate to implement this. It's all the benefits of barcoding times twenty! I think about the possibilities every time I am up in the book stacks unable to find the book I am need of because it is not where it is supposed to be. Frequently, I am able to look around the few shelves near it and the title will catch my eye. But sometimes I'm just out of luck; it is nowhere to be found. I wish I could wave a magic wand and it would appear. Oh wait, I could, if we had RFID!
