Milwaukee libraries convert to RFID

Wednesday, June 30, 2010

In partnership with Integrated Technology Group, the Milwaukee Public Library system is converting its entire collection to RFID.

ITG will be responsible for installing a complete RFID library automation system, including XpressCheck patron self-service units, FlexCheck staff stations, Total Mobile tagging and shelf management carts, and sorters.

Currently, 11 of the MPL’s 12 branches are fully tagged and six are operational. And if all goes well, MPL officials say the RFID rollout will be completed on schedule by year’s end. [end]
