[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] RFID

[Richard Deuschle]

We have about 140,000+ items with a circ that should hit 500,000 this year.
We use the Sentry RFID and magnetic system with self checks.  The system
works with Evergreen and also really helps protect our DVDs and CDs.  The
self checks use SIP2 and seem to work well.  Thanks.  Rick
