The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) issued RFID in U.S. Libraries, which contains recommended practices to facilitate the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) in library applications.

The scope of the document is limited to item identification - the implementation of RFID for books and other materials - and specifically excludes its use with regard to the identification of people, said NISO.

RFID Standards

The NISO recommendations for best practices aim to promote procedures that do the following:

Allow an RFID tag to be installed at the earliest point and used throughout the life cycle of the book from publisher/printer to distributor, jobber, library (shelving, circulating, sorting, reshelving, inventory and theft deterrence) and interlibrary loan and continuing on to secondary markets such as secondhand books, returned books and discarded/recycled books.
Allow for interoperability among libraries where a tag in one library can be used by another even if the libraries have different suppliers for tags, hardware and software.
Protect the personal privacy of individuals.
Permit the extension of these standards and procedures for global interoperability.

RFID in U.S. Libraries was prepared by NISO's RFID Working Group and is available at www.niso.org/standards/resources/RP-6-2008.pdf.
