Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems offer libraries many ways to enhance productivity, ranging from self-check solutions to automated materials handling systems. RFID tags, which include a tiny chip for processing and storing information and an antenna for communicating with the readers in self-check stations, security gates, staff workstations, and other equipment, are a core component of any RFID system. Collectively, these tags are also one of the most expensive components of such a system. Virtually all RFID tags used on books and other library materials share several characteristics. Passive, nonbattery-powered RFID tags are generally manufactured to communicate with the readers on three different radio wave frequencies. Library tags are also described as "ISO compliant" or as ISO RFID tags. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent agency that develops voluntary standards for a variety of industrial applications, including business technology. Tech Logic emphasizes interoperability among suppliers with its nonproprietary, ISO-compliant RFID tags.
