Earlier this year I ran a quick survey on the UK RFID list to try and discover which topics were of the most concern to subscribers. CILIP had asked me to prepare an agenda for their annual conference and asking people what they wanted to know about seemed a pretty straightforward way of finding out. Judging by reactions to the conference, that approach seemed to work quite well.

So emboldened by that outcome I yesterdaylaunched a slightly more detailed survey to try and gain a picture of how the technology is being used in UK libraries. Over the last year I have frequently  been asked by organisations if I have any data about the number of installations, reliability of equipment, attitudes among RFID users etc.  and this is my attemot to provide some answers. The results will be made available to list subscribers early in the new year.

Survey now closed – sorry!

Three dedicated profesionals had already replied to the list posting  – made at 8pm on a Sunday evening – within 3 hours of its appearance, demonstratingthat there is  perhaps some real enthusiasm for it. I have even had suggestions that the same survey might usefully be run for other countries but I’m not sure whether that’s a good idea or not?

Any suggestions (preferably helpful) gratefully received.
