Traditionally, libraries have relied on employees manually scanning each item as it went through the book handling process. As a result, valuable staff resources were directed to time-consuming checkout and inventory management procedures, while patrons faced long lines and moderate customer service due to the demands placed on library staff.
RFID-based library material handling systems provide library staff with the ability to computerize the entire material handling process. With the RFID system in place, staff can be relieved of checkout duties, and can spend more time providing other services to library patrons.
“The people of New Orleans have shown tremendous spirit and resiliency over the past ten months and we are extremely grateful to play a small part in their rebuilding efforts,” said Shai Robkin, President and CEO of ITG. “This new system will automate routine tasks that typically take up much of the librarians' time, allowing them to focus their efforts on the needs of library patrons and the greater community.”
