The latest technology to hit the library market, Radio Frequency IDentification tags for materials promise to solve library circulation and security problems (for a considerable price), but carry their own special set of issues and challenges (rumblings among librarians over RFID's effectiveness with DVDs are growing). RFID in Libraries explores the pros and cons of RFID, visiting several libraries that have implemented the technology and interviewing managers who share good and bad experiences and offer suggestions to libraries considering RFID (David Dorman, technology consultant for American Libraries, offers insights as well). Topics include an explanation of RFID, security concerns, privacy issues, integrating with current circulation systems, and the question of whether RFID is worth the cost. A great title for professional library collections considering RFID, this is recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (L. Stevens)
