As some of you may know, besides bar-codes, BRS provided full RFID systems also.  These past few months BRS has been hard at work planning and implementing RFID into the 4 local library branches of Linebaugh Public Library Systems. BRS has been working with our Singapore RFID Library experts to make this all possible.

The implementation process finally started this week! The Smyrna City Library closed their door yesterday and will be closed until Sunday March 28th, and the staff has been placing an RFID on each of their library items. Just yesterday the Smyrna staff tagged 6,000 items!! Here’s a news clip of the process:

After Smyrna re-opens the Linebaugh branch in Murfreesboro will begin their tagging and will close the to the public from March 28th-April 10th to get a head start on tagging all of their items.

While Linebaugh and Smyrna are closed, BRS and our partners ST LogiTrack will be installing the security gates that help safe guard un-borrowed items from leaving the library. The after Linebaugh reopens and both gates are installed, Eagleville is the next branch to start tagging, and MGL will be the last.

The tagging will continue for several months so the RFID system will not be up and running for  awhile, however expect to see the RFID system ready and active before the end of this year. For more RFID library updates, visit the library Blog: http://tnrfidlibrary.wordpress.com
