Current issues in library rfid
- 1. LibraryRFIDLibraryRFID Issues in Library RFID – Executive Briefing Mick Fortune 27th January 2015
- 2. LibraryRFID Three Areas of Concern • Privacy • Communications/Interoperability • Near Field Communication
- 4. LibraryRFID EU Mandate M436 • Published in 2008 • Made recommendations on: – Signage – Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA) • Standards EN 16570 & EN16571 published in 2014 signal EU intentions for M436. LibraryRFID
- 5. LibraryRFID EN 16570 & 16571 • EN 16570 – Defines type of signs to be displayed, and privacy statement to accompany them • EN 16571 – Sets out criteria for carrying out a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) • Commercial companies are promoting PIA software to librarians.
- 6. LibraryRFID Time to Panic? • No. The mandate is a recommendation – not a law. • Different member states will respond in different ways. • UK ICO states it has no intention of legislating at the moment. • BIC developing guidance for librarians
- 7. LibraryRFID BIC? • Book Industry Communication (BIC) – a charity for everyone involved with books. – Funded by members including the Booksellers and Publishers Associations, CILIP, and the British Library
- 8. LibraryRFID BIC’s Response • Guidance being prepared for librarians wanting to respond to EN 16570 and 16571 • Regular liaison with ICO to monitor their intentions in regard to M436 • BIC’s RFID Privacy committee meets quarterly to review situation.
- 10. LibraryRFID The Problem • RFID (and other 3rd party applications) mostly use 3M’s SIP protocol to communicate with LMS. • SIP is limited in scope (to circulation) and is no longer being developed by 3M. • Some suppliers returning to proprietary solutions to develop new services (e.g. APIs) LibraryRFID
- 11. LibraryRFID The Library Communication Framework (LCF) • Industry initiative led and managed by BIC • Data “framework” of elements and values used in library systems • LCF Panel processes new requests rapidly • LCF Tech Group oversees the development of the framework and work of panel. • All available online for developers and users alike.
- 12. LibraryRFID What can you do? • All major UK RFID suppliers already support LCF. • Encourage your LMS supplier to join in. • Ask for LCF accreditation in system tenders (accreditation scheme for suppliers to be published in Q2 2015) • Join in yourselves!
- 14. LibraryRFID What is it? • Near Field Communication (NFC) is another version of RFID • Close range only but uses same frequency as library RFID systems • Already in many smartphones (incl iPhone 6) • Potential for good…and bad.
- 15. LibraryRFID Things to consider • Apps to read and write data to library tags using phones and tablets are freely available. • But – wholesale changes difficult (and unlikely?) • And opportunities for new services being created.
- 16. LibraryRFID BIC – The advert! • BIC is the nearest thing we have to a UK standards body for libraries • Manages EDI clinics, categorisation schemes (Thema), data and interoperability standards • Run by librarians for librarians – working directly with suppliers • Find out more at www.bic.org.uk

Notes de l'éditeur
- Thanks for the invitation. Want to let you know about some recent developments in the library RFID sector
- The EU mandate was issued to European standards bodies in 2008 since then experts have been working on developing standards that will help users to meet the requirements of the mandate. EN 16570 and 16571 mark the next step in that process.
- Describing what the standards are about. Point out that commercial interests are already promoting tools and consultancy to help libraries meet the requirements of the standard.
- What to do now? A mandate is not a law. A standard is not a law – but a law may cite a standard. Likely to be different responses from different member states. No indication so far that the UK plans legislation on RFID privacy. Good practice for librarians to be aware of, and respond to standards. BIC trying to help.
- Describing BIC
- What we are doing.
- While I have your attention I’d like to tell you about another couple of RFID (and non-RFID) issues
- First of these deals with how systems talk to each other. Initiative came from RFID suppliers wanting to extend functionality beyond circulation. SIP was developed for circulation and didn’t do well in meeting other challenges. Market response has been proprietary APIs and web services that only operate between two partners – i.e. bilaterally.
- BIC’s response mirrors that used in the book trade. Rather than define a communication protocol we chose to define data elements and values to be used in whatever way suits the developer. This framework already supports all existing SIP functionality and will be expanded to meet new demands as they are raised. A two-tier management system allows additions, errors and modifications to be made quickly and reviewed regularly. The framework will be online for anyone to make requests, review decisions or make comments. An accreditation scheme for suppliers will be in place by the summer.
- Increasingly in phones, tablets and cards. Can interact with library stock. A threat – and an opportunity
- Threats to consider. Remember the device has to be in contact with item to make changes – so wholesale changes unlikely. Opportunities for new services – linking the physical and virtual worlds through a mobile platform – are now wide open (and already being developed on both sides of the Atlantic)
- Finally a word about my sponsor…! What BIC does and why you should get involved.
