RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags are small microchips encoded with an identifying number that allow libraries to sort, identify, and track the use of items in circulation. The tags listen for a radio query and respond by transmitting their unique ID code. (Sixty-four-bit identifiers allow about 18 thousand trillion possible values.) Most RFID tags have no batteries; they use the power from the initial radio signal to transmit their response. Because the devices are inexpensive, never wear out, and can be read by scanners as far as 15 feet from the tag, they offer terrific item-tracking potential.
