Using RFID for Collections
Management and Visitor Interaction
Session Chair and Panelist:

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is
emerging as one of the hottest technologies in decades to impact manufacturing
and the retail supply chain. But what does RFID portend for museums? In this
session, we will present a pioneering case study from the Walker Art Center on
how and why they have used RFID technology to catalog their collection of
drawings and prints. Has the technology matured enough to transform the way
museums will identify and track their entire collections? We will also present
an overview of the technology and how other institutions are utilizing RFID to
enhance the visitor’s museum experience. Learn about the benefits – and
potential pitfalls – of employing this exciting new technology.

Re: Barcodes in TMS?
Several institutions are using barcodes in TMS
in the Netherlands, some
use "talking tags" (Museum Boymans van Beuningen,
Rotterdam).

Barcodes in TMS?
Is anyone using barcodes in TMS? The Research
Library at the Getty
Research Institute is going to begin using TMS to manage
its special
collections and would like to use barcodes to track exhibition
items.
Thank you,
