Centrepointe, Alta Vista libraries go high-tech this fall RFID tags speed up tracking of materials Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Library branches in Alta Vista and Centrepointe will be next to receive a hightech book-sorting system this fall. Work is already underway to affix RFID tags – short for radio frequency identification – to library materials in order to automate the sorting process. Instead of a librarian having to scan each book, CD or DVD back into the library manually, that work will be done instantly by a machine that can pick up a radio signal to track that
the material has been returned to the library. The project to upgrade library branches to the new technology is meant to save time, ensure library materials are in circulation instead of sitting on a shelf waiting to be sorted and to free up staff time to provide other services for library patrons. The Hazeldean library branch in Kanata was the first branch to get the RFID technology last year. The Emerald Plaza branch in Nepean will also get the new system as part of a larger renovation which is expected to be completed early this fall, likely by September. The library board approved spending $634,500 on RFID equipment for the Centrepointe and Alta Vista branches. Combined with the cost for RFID at the Emerald Plaza branch, the Ottawa Public Library will spend $985,000 on the new technology this year.
