I am sorry, I should not have said asserted, as I did, that "BISG sees
libraries as competition and will not do anything to help them". Its the
publishers who control BISG who would, in my opinion, not shed a tear were
the last public library to close its doors.

Your mileage may differ.

Re: [CODE4LIB] No really, this part is about RFID stuffs

[Cornel Darden Jr.]

Hello,

I like your points Mr. LeBreton, many libraries adopted early technology that 
came with issues of breakage. Also, public libraries are much more successful 
because of the short  lifespan of many of their books. The RFID journal is an 
excellent source for information and I believe that LITA has a focus group with 
a listserv. Ms. Salazar, I would not discount Augmented Reality and certainly 
wouldn’t discount RFID use as an augmented reality tool. This will be a huge 
mistake! an IoT is something librarians need to take more seriously.

At my Library we will eventually deploy RFID. We don’t have a large collection 
as we are a community college. However, we would like to connect our “odd” 
print books and connect them the best way we can. I portend that by the end of 
this decade, those books would be put in storage and only retrieved for niche 
users or those who will use them with augmentation technology. New books that 
we collect near the end of the decade would probably have AR and RFID (or 
technologies similar to RFID) embedded in them. If I was a Director of a 
collection of over a million books, I would probably not initiate an RFID 
program unless the technology is fully understood and augmentation is 
considered. Now if budget, time, and staffing aren’t huge issues, than I would 
deploy. However, be prepared to have to upgrade to contend with demands for AR. 

If AR is overlooked, you will be stuck with an outdated system. Like Mr. 
LeBreton said, RFID has come a long way. The next few years will be amazing!

This is of particular interest to me. I am a pioneer in iRoving at community 
college libraries, and my research, so far, has shown that AR and RFID (or 
similar technologies) are paramount to that particular service model.

Why any Librarian would scoff at Augmented Reality is mind blowing! But then 
again, many librarians still think that the print book (in its current form) is 
okay to use in academic research. I’m optimistic!!!

Thanks,

Cornel Darden Jr.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Forwarding blog post: Apple, Android and NFC – how should libraries prepare? (RFID stuffs)

[Genny Engel]

We use RFID, a lot.  It's been insanely fabulous for reducing repetitive stress 
among our staff.  We circulate about 3 million items a year, which translates 
into about 6 million times somebody needs to check something in or out.  We 
have patron self-checkout at some branches but by no means all.  As someone 
observed earlier, the situation in the circulating collections in a public 
library is rather different vs. a research collection in an academic library.  
For that matter, in our non-circulating collections I don't believe we've RFID 
tagged anything.

So this thread started from talking about RFID ( "i'm interested!" ) to
talking about augmented reality ( "uh, ok, now less interested...") to
talking about standards ( "oh no, not again.." ) to talking about c4l (
"yep." )

So, are people using RFID? A lot? Is it working, or did it make life

Re: [CODE4LIB] No really, this part is about RFID stuffs

[Jonathan LeBreton]

Christina,  

I'd be very interested if you could turn me onto the academic libraries that 
had RFID and have backed away or are backing away from it and returning to EM 
for security. perhaps you could send me institutions names directly, off 
list, and turn me onto that listserv...   

I am aware that earlier generations of RFID tags were prone to breakage, and 
had a relatively short lifespan that rendered them suitable for the supposedly 
short span of a book's life at a public library, but not suited to the longer 
life on the average academic, much less the eternal life on a research 
library's shelves. 
Yet current generations of RFID tags are physically much smaller and less prone 
to cracking  (I am told)  and prices have come way down.  We are now seeing 
some research libraries moving in the RFID direction such as NC State in the 
Hunt Library and  Delaware.

I'm not an RFID expert by a long shot, but we do use it here at CSU Channel 
Islands and I had to learn a lot about it quickly because all our stuff broke 
and I had to fix it.

In that process, I had heard that while RFID's great for public libraries 
(where they're circulating enough that staff time is problematic as is material 
theft), academic libraries don't love it, particularly for security (which RFID 
is pretty bad at actually). I've heard of a few academic libraries that have 
abandoned RFID for security because it's just not worth maintaining (i.e., cost 
of stuff stolen versus costs of time, materials etc. to maintain the tags in 
the collection).

However, hopefully this audience knows that there's more to RFID than security 
and self-check (like automated materials handling, collection inventory and 
this other stuff, I wouldn't call it augmented reality - probably because I 
have the same reaction that Chris had to that phrase - but maybe something like 
"automated finding"). I mean with your RFID tag in there, your book or thing or 
whatever can send a signal to a receiver and now the receiver possibly could be 
your smart phone, right?

So while RFID has in fact made MY life hellish, I feel like there's more to it 
than what it's currently doing for us here in academic libraries in the US. But 
at the same time, I get the idea that people that I talk to in academic 
libraries in the US basically don't care about RFID and I kind of wonder why. 
They'd apparently rather talk about c4l illuminati.

On a related note, there IS an RFID in Libraries list (which is where I'm 
getting a lot of this information from) but I'm not sure that it's quite the 
venue to start talking about standards and innovation, while I thought this 
list was.

It makes me happy that one other person is interested in RFID in libraries... 
or were you just toying with my emotions?

hi Christina,

I am your friendly neighborhood standards person at NISO.  There are also 
several people who are active in NISO who are also active in Code4Lib, and we 
are always looking for more!  I read Code4Lib when I can and attend the 
conference when I can (sad to say that my proposals are never voted in… oh 
standards…)

re RFID: most of the action is now going on at the international level within 
ISO and TC46 (the ISO committee that handles information and documentation). 
There is a working group within TC46, WG11, which handles ISO 28560, RFID in 
Libraries. Revisions and new proposals for extensions to the standard happen 
here.  The Danes are currently serving as the secretariat for this WG: 
http://biblstandard.dk/rfid/  NISO represents the US to TC46 (ANSI is actually 
the ISO member but appoints NISO for this particular role). Hence we appoint 
the US representatives to the WG and handle communication of the US voting 
position for any changes that need to be approved at the TC46 level.  I would 
be happy to coordinate any further questions you might have.

I should also say that I disagree that BISG is anti-libraries, as another 
commenter opined. However, it’s true that libraries are not its primary 
constituency.  NISO is a strong industry partner with BISG on cross-industry 
standards and communication, and we work together on many initiatives to make 
sure that requirements and perspectives from each group re metadata, business 
practices, etc. are shared as much as possible. 

Cheers,
Nettie

[CODE4LIB] Job: Digital Metadata Librarian at University of Cincinnati

[jobs]

Digital Metadata Librarian
University of Cincinnati
Cincinnati

The University of Cincinnati Libraries invites applications and nominations
for the position of Digital Metadata Librarian, a tenure-track, 12 month
Faculty Appointment. The change in UCL from a project-based
mode to a comprehensive program for digital collections has increased the
demand for metadata services (e.g. descriptive, administrative, and
structural) and the concurrent need to develop and document associated
policies and procedural standards. As more data types are
represented in library collections, there is a growing need to harmonize
descriptive metadata policies and practices across all
resources. The successful candidate will participate
heavily in non-MARC metadata and establishing practices and standards for non-
MARC metadata creation across the libraries.

  
This position delivers metadata services in collaboration with other library
departments, university partners, and external collaborators; works with
diverse constituents to support the discovery of and access to the Libraries'
licensed and locally created digital content and analog collections;
participates in facilitating the ingestion and harvesting of metadata records
and establishing approved data models for the next generation repository under
development; works collaboratively in the development, implementation, and
evaluation of metadata policies, goals, and procedures for print and digital
collections; performs original and complex copy cataloging to describe, expose
and enrich library collections in a variety of languages and in all
bibliographic and physical formats, including serials, media, electronic
resources, and digital collections; and participates in experimental and
innovative programs in support of eScience, eLearning, digital social sciences
and humanities, data analytics, and data mining.

  
The University of Cincinnati Libraries are a charter member of the Association
of Research Libraries. A Strategic Plan launched in 2014 positions the
libraries to become the globally engaged, intellectual commons of the
university, the hub for collaboration, digital innovation and scholarly
endeavor on campus. The libraries provide access to research collections from
10 locations which include more than 4.4 million volumes, an online digital
repository of over 500,000 local digital objects, 148 thousand e-journals and
1.3 million e-books. The University of Cincinnati is also a
founding member of the OhioLINK Library Consortium, providing access to
resources available across the state. Visit: http://libraries.uc.edu

  
Review of applications will begin November 17th and continue until the
position is filled. Applications, including cover letter,
resume, and the names, addresses, and phone numbers of three references, must
be submitted online at:
https://www.jobsatuc.com/applicants/Central?quickFind=89767

The wonderful thing about standards, is that there are so many to choose from.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Forwarding blog post: Apple, Android and NFC – how should libraries prepare? (RFID stuffs)

[Ross Singer]

I guess there’s “what do you mean by ‘C4L'” and “what do you mean by 
‘standards’” that need to be clarified here.

Cary is right, this list/community/whatever is definitely well represented by 
people who sit on formal standards committees or are involved in the 
organizations that create them, etc.

But I think more important is the “what do you mean by ‘standards’” question: 
C4L has definitely spawned several specifications (COinS, UnAPI, etc.) and (in 
my mind) has been under-utilized in this arena for a few years.  You’ve got a 
gathering of smart, like-minded people: if you want to create a spec, solicit 
your idea, start a mailing list, follow the ROGUE ’05 rules [1], and let a 
thousand specifications bloom.

We’re generally in need of a spec, not a standard, I’ve found (although they’re 
definitely not mutually exclusive!).
